ZooKeys and Pensoft ECE 2023: advocating for entomology advancement and pollinator protection

ZooKeys, together with its publisher Pensoft, took part in the XII European Congress of Entomology (ECE 2023) in Heraklion, Crete, from October 16th to 20th, 2023. The event provided a forum for entomologists from all over the world, bringing together over 900 scientists from 60 countries.

The ECE 2023, organised by the Hellenic Entomological Society, addressed the pressing challenges facing entomology, including climate change, vector-borne diseases, biodiversity loss, and the need to sustainably feed a growing world population. The program featured symposia, lectures, poster sessions, and other types of activities aimed at fostering innovation in entomology. For Pensoft, they were a great opportunity to interact with scientists and share their commitment to advancing entomological research and addressing the critical challenges in the field.

Throughout the event, conference participants could find Pensoft’s team at booth 10 on the 3rd floor of Heraklion’s Cultural Conference Center, and learn more about the scholarly publisher’s open-access journals in entomology.

In addition, the Pensoft team presented the latest outcomes from the Horizon 2020 projects B-GOOD, Safeguard, and PoshBee, where the publisher takes care of science communication and dissemination as a partner.
