Swedish Oikos Society
Det finns även en

The Swedish Oikos Society is a society for ecologists with a professional interest in ecological research. The societies' main activities are the annual Oikos meetings and the Oikos list - an electronic mailing list. The society is also one of the member organizations of European Ecological Federation (EEF) and represented in International Network of Next-Generation Ecologists (INNGE).

The word ecology stems from the old Greek word oikos, which mean house, home. Ecology is the science that studies how organisms (animals, plants) interact with each other and the environment.

Nordic Society Oikos is a separate society. According to its statutes, the Swedish Society Oikos appoints one member of the board of this society. Members om the Nordic Society Oikos are also The Ecological Society of Iceland (vistis.is only in icelandic), the Norwegian Ecological Society, Oikos-DK and the Finnish Oikos Society. The most important function for the Nordic Society Oikos is to own and publish the scientific journals Ecography, Journal of Avian Biology, Nordic Journal of Botany, and Oikos.

This is NOT the address the letters appear to come from. The sender will, like all members, receive a copy as a confirmation that the message has been relayed.

Oikos meetings

Th first Oikos meeting was held in Uppsala 1983. Since then meetings have been held in February each year, with ecology departments in Sweden rotating as hosts. Since 2014, every second meeting is a Nordic meeting which alternates between the five Nordic countries. The next meeting will be in Reykjavik 3rd to 5th March 2020.

The meetings provide an opportunity for Swedish ecologists to meet and discuss their work. The meetings also provide a broad overview of current Swedish ecological research.
