XXIX International Ornithological Congress ® in Mexico 2026
Dear members of the IOU, dear ornithologists,
the new location of the XXIX International Ornithological Congress ® has been selected and will be Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, from November 29 - December 04 2026.
The International Ornithological Union will organize the meeting with the Society for Study and Conservation of Birds in Mexico (CIPAMEX), the leading Mexican Ornithological organization. The Yucatan Peninsula, where Mérida is located, borders the Maya Forest, a recognized biodiversity hotspot. Mexico is the 11th country in bird species diversity. CIPAMEX has organized annual or biannual national ornithological congresses in the past 30 years.
In the coming months, a Scientific Program Committee will be established to produce the invitations to organize symposia and other activities for this event.
You will find detailed information on the congress webpage: https://iocongress2026.com/
With best wishes and kind regards
Patricia Escalante, PhD.

In my daily work I constantly switch from my camouflage outfit with tele lens to avian research and teaching as PostDoc at the Philipps-University Marburg, Faculty of Biology, Departments of Conservation and Animal Ecology (Germany), and to computer work of scientific analysis, design and web architecture work ... and back.
