Dates and Location Announced for ICUP 2025 Conference

SWEDEN — Held once every three years, the dates and location of the next International Conference on Urban Pests (ICUP) were announced. The conference will take place June 29 to July 2, 2025, at AF-Borgen, the Academic Society (Akademiska Föreningen) building in Lund, Sweden.

The 2025 conference will address the science and management of a wide variety of urban pests and vectors, including those of hygiene, structural and medical importance. Focus will be on pests that have an increasing impact on  our changing world, the organization said.

The 2025 committee is chaired by Jette Knudsen from Nattaro Labs based in Lund, Sweden.

“After the close of ICUP 2022 in Barcelona, we assembled our 2025 Organising Committee, which includes members from most Nordic countries. We are already working hard to prepare another stimulating and productive ICUP event,” Knudsen said.

There will also be break-out sessions, workshops, the conference dinner and networking times, when views are freely exchanged between delegates, and working partnerships established.

This conference is a leading international forum for sharing information and ideas on the impact, biology and control of pests in the urban environment, the organization said. It is attended by entomologists, pest management professionals, academic and government scientists from around the world.

More details regarding the conference will be announced when the ICUP 2025 website goes live.
