To celebrate “Ecology Day” on September 14th, 2024, the Iberian Society of Ecology (SIBECOL) is launching the SIBECOL-Dialogues, a platform aimed at fostering discussions on current ecological topics. The plan is to hold this event in different locations annually, focusing on current ecological discussions and topics. The inaugural dialogue will centre around "Heat Waves and Tipping Points" and is scheduled to take place at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) on September 13th, 2024, at 11 am. The event will be live-streamed with support from UAB and CREAF. The dialogues will last for two hours, with the first hour dedicated to invited experts' presentations and the second hour open for a public forum and discussion.
