51st Congress of the Colombian Society of Entomology (Socolen)

Description

At this congress we will have 14 national and international keynote conferences, and 15 symposiums, workshops on topics of national importance, oral presentations, posters, pre-congress courses and other associated events, framed by our motto, “Women inspiring change: Entomology, sustainability and diversity.

​The Colombian Congress of the Colombian Society of Entomology (Socolen) allows each year to collect research advances in 1. Biodiversity, Ecology and Conservation, 2. Medical, Veterinary and Forensic Entomology, 3. Integrated Pest Management / Biological Control and 4. . Taxonomy, Systematics and Evolution.

Cenicaña will share its advances in research in entomology and biodiversity, seeking to make sugarcane cultivation management increasingly more sustainable.

We look forward to seeing you, and welcome from now on!
