ICUP 2025 Organizing Committee Calls for Abstracts

Those interested in submitting a paper or poster at the 11th International Conference on Urban Pests (ICUP) are invited to submit an abstract of their proposed presentation, via the ICUP 2025 website at www.icup.org.uk/icup-2025

The deadline for submissions is Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024. The ICUP conference will take place from June 29 to July 2, 2025, at AF-Borgen, the Academic Society (Akademiska Föreningen) building in Lund, Southern Sweden. 

The organizing committee aims to highlight urban areas as environments where biodiversity is perceived as both an opportunity and a threat. In these areas, citizens are in close contact with other species, so quickly develop technologies that shape the relationship between humans and these other species. To reflect this, ICUP 2025 will have a general theme of ‘Smart and Sustainable Management of Urban Animals.’ 

The organizer's are now inviting all those involved in research within the field of urban pest management, to submit an abstract of their proposed poster or oral presentation, for consideration by the organizing committee. All presentations, papers and posters will be presented in English.

Instructions on how to submit an abstract can be found via the ICUP 2025 website at www.icup.org.uk/icup-2025. Submissions can be made only via the website and need to be received by Sept. 15, 2024. Accepted authors will be contacted in November 2024, with the final manuscript submitted by the end of January 2025. 

Jette Knudsen, chair of the ICUP 2025 Organising Committee said, “This is the 11th ICUP conference in this highly popular series of non-profit events. These offer a diverse and stimulating programme that combines classical urban pest topics with new ideas and projects. I would like to encourage all researchers and practitioners with novel findings to submit an abstract for consideration.”
