• Welcome to the 37th Annual Meeting of the German Society for Limnology
    19 - 23 September 2022

    Living together - a blue strategy to preserve and promote diversity


  • We are very pleased to invite you to the 37th DGL Annual Meeting in Constance in September 2022. The motto for the meeting is "Living together - a blue strategy to preserve and promote diversity".  The rapid and continuous loss of biodiversity does not stop at freshwater systems, and coexistence in water bodies and our own coexistence with water bodies is already permanently impaired. Detecting and understanding the losses, assessing their consequences, and minimizing negative impacts on important ecosystem services, where appropriate, is a challenge that can only be met successfully through collaborative efforts. To meet this challenge, we want to intensify the dialogue between empirical and theoretical basic research, applied research and implementation of measures at this year's annual meeting. We are pleased that representatives from different fields of limnology have agreed to initiate this dialogue in two panel discussions during the meeting, which will then be continued in the sessions and breaks. We hope that the meeting will lead to new collaborations and generate new ideas on how to rapidly move knowledge from basic research to application.
