Ireland Conference Call for Papers form

Deadline: Friday 27th November 2026

We are seeking proposals for presentations for our CIEEM Ireland Conference 2027 which will explore the vital role of ecological professionals in delivering sustainable development that benefits people, communities, the economy, and nature.

As Ireland, both North and South, continues to respond to housing needs, infrastructure demands, climate challenges, and biodiversity loss, there is growing recognition that healthy ecosystems are fundamental to healthy societies and thriving economies. Ecologists and environmental managers have a key role to play in shaping development that is resilient, sustainable, and nature-positive.

We plan to showcase how early ecological engagement, effective collaboration, and practical solutions can unlock opportunities and improve outcomes for all stakeholders. Delegates will explore how ecological expertise can support decision-making, reduce project risks, and help create better places for people and nature.

Description

What We're Looking For…

We are inviting submissions from ecologists, environmental managers, planners, researchers, developers, policymakers, local authorities, community groups, and other professionals whose work demonstrates how ecology can help create better places.

We welcome presentations, case studies, research findings, and practical examples that align with the conference theme and contribute to one or more of the following aims:

Support Better Decision-Making

Demonstrate how early ecological input can improve project outcomes, reduce risks, and create long-term value for people, communities, and nature.

Showcase Ecology as an Enabler of Good Development

Highlight examples of how ecological expertise has contributed to successful, sustainable, and resilient development projects across Ireland and beyond.

Promote Collaboration

Share experiences of effective partnership working between ecologists, planners, developers, regulators, local authorities, engineers, designers, and communities.

Share Practical Solutions

Present innovative approaches, tools, and lessons learned that balance environmental, social, and economic objectives while delivering positive outcomes for biodiversity and people.
