The International Pest Risk Research Group (IPRRG) will be hosting its 10th annual meeting in association with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) from the 23rd to the 26th of August 2016 at the EFSA headquarters in Parma, Italy. The IPRRG is a group of research scientists and pest risk practitioners that aims to develop enhanced pest risk modelling and mapping methods. Oral and poster presentations are invited on all aspects of pest risk research and abstracts should be submitted before the 31st of May 2016. Presentations on advances in modelling and mapping risks (e.g. pathway analysis, species distribution modelling, spread modelling, uncertainty analysis, climate change impacts and vector-borne disease risk), impact assessment, and communicating risks to policy makers are particularly welcomed.
