2021 TCETSA Virtual Job Fair

Welcome to a Festival of Ecology!

We are delighted to bring you an exciting virtual experience, as the largest and most welcoming conference in Europe moves online this year. The online conference has the great advantage of being accessible to even more people around the world. You can join in wherever you are to share the latest research, meet new colleagues and develop your career.

The extended five-day programme includes live plenary lectures, thematic sessions, and workshops, in addition to hundreds of on-demand talks and virtual posters, all with speaker Q&A. There will be a range of live networking opportunities to form new connections, and chat rooms to talk to ecologists within your field of research. Browse the interactive exhibitor booths, where you can chat to representatives, via chat or video, to find out more about our key sponsors.

Finally, if you miss content during the week, don’t worry, all content will be available to view for an additional month in your own time.
We look forward to a productive and enjoyable week with you all.
