The University of Brest (UBO), in collaboration with the French Ecological Restoration Network (REVER) and the European Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER-Europe) are proud to host the 15th European Conference on Ecological Restoration (SERE2026) from 24 to 28 August 2026 in Brest, France.

UBO’s Laboratoire Géoarchitecture, a leader in restoration ecology since the early 2000s, will organise the event, bringing together experts from academia, policy and practice. The conference will be a key platform to take stock of the National Restoration Plans required in 2026 by the EU Nature Restoration Regulation.

Why should you attend?

SERE2026 offers a critical opportunity to exchange ideas and shape the future of restoration efforts across Europe. Join us in Brest and be part of the conversation!
