Sharks International Conference 2022 (SI2022)

This one is going to be a bit different!

Welcome to SI2022 - a hybrid event in October 2022 that will bring together a community of shark and ray researchers, communicators and advocates. All in the name of addressing the challenge of elasmobranch conservation in this decade of Ocean Science.

The Sharks International Conference 2022 (SI2022) stands on the shoulders of hugely successful previous Sharks International Conference events. But the world has changed since 2018. With inclusion (and the unavoidable constraints caused by COViD) at the forefront of the planning, we've developed for you a hybrid event that will combine everything we love about in-person conferences with all we've learnt from the revolution in remote communication since 2020.

SI2022 will revolve around the main theme of the Challenges of Elasmobranch Conservation. At its heart, the congress will be focused on working collaboratively to address this theme during the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).

SI2022 comprises a three-day physical conference in Valencia from 20-22 October, complemented by five online days between October 10th and 14th.

The combined program includes over 280 speakers from 69 countries, representing themes from genetics to telemetry, behaviour to fisheries impacts, advocacy, communication and citizen science. And much more. In addition to talks, the conference will feature a rich diversity of research, presented through posters and digital presentations. We look forward seeing you there…
