Set in the historic University House of Bucharest, ZoologyCon 2024 showcased cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and the latest discoveries in zoology. Over three days of dedicated sessions (November 6-8), researchers from countries as diverse as Austria, Belgium, China, Mexico, and Romania participated, offering plenary talks and specialized presentations on a variety of topics, including:

The final day, November 9, featured a documentary excursion, allowing attendees to explore local biodiversity and conservation efforts. The complete program of the event is available here.
In addition to sessions by professional zoologists, ZoologyCon 2024 emphasized the role of citizen science in zoology. A particular segment dedicated to Citizen Science featured posters contributed by non-professionals and nature enthusiasts, showcasing their valuable observations and contributions to the field. This theme underscored the university’s commitment to inclusivity in science and the vital role of community involvement in ecological research.
With Romania as the host country, the University of Bucharest’s involvement highlighted its ongoing commitment to promoting scientific knowledge and fostering international research collaboration in zoology.
By hosting ZoologyCon 2024, the University of Bucharest continued to serve as a central hub for scientific development and dialogue in Romania. This congress aligned with the university’s mission to foster research that addresses global environmental challenges and biodiversity conservation and to facilitate knowledge-sharing platforms that strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration.
