SER2027 is organized in collaboration with the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) and regional partners including the European Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER-Europe), A Sociedade Portuguesa de Ecologia (SPECO), Associação para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento de Ciências (FCiências.ID), Universidade de Lisboa (ULisboa), and A Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (Ciências ULisboa).
The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) advances the science, practice, and policy of ecological restoration to sustain biodiversity, strengthen resilience in a changing climate, and rebuild a healthy relationship between nature and culture. SER is a global non-governmental organization with more than 5,000 members and partners in over 100 countries. Through its members, publications, conferences, policy engagement, and outreach, SER promotes excellence in ecological restoration and provides a leading global platform for knowledge exchange and professional learning.
SER-Europe is the European Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration. It is the European-wide association with 500 scientific and expert practitioner members across Europe, and globally, including restoration research centres, non-profit organisations and private companies. It operates as a ‘network of networks’ in collaboration with national restoration organisations across the EU, with the mission to foster the exchange of knowledge and expertise practitioners and scientists from diverse disciplines and backgrounds, and to communicate leading-edge tools, technologies, science, and development opportunities.

A Sociedade Portuguesa de Ecologia (SPECO), established in 1995, is a scientific society dedicated to advancing ecological knowledge and its application to nature conservation and environmental management. As a dynamic and interdisciplinary community, SPECO brings together researchers, practitioners, and professionals to foster collaboration, support scientific and technological development, and engage with pressing environmental challenges. The society promotes dialogue and knowledge exchange through conferences, workshops, and other initiatives, while also contributing to policy and practice as a recognized non-governmental environmental organization.
Associação para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento de Ciências (FCiências.ID) is a non-profit private organization, established in 2017 and granted public utility status, dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and knowledge transfer across scientific disciplines. Bringing together academic institutions, research units, and industry partners, including the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (CIÊNCIAS), FCiências.ID supports and manages a wide range of research and development activities. The organization plays a key role in coordinating over 300 R&D projects and providing financial and administrative management for 12 research units spanning fields such as mathematics, physics, biology, environmental science, and computer science.
Universidade de Lisboa (ULisboa) is the largest and most prestigious university in Portugal and is one of Europe’s leading universities. Heir to a university tradition that spans over seven centuries, ULisboa acquired its current status in July 2013, following the merger of the former Universidade Técnica de Lisboa and Universidade de Lisboa. ULisboa brings together various areas of knowledge and has a privileged position for facilitating the contemporary evolution of science, technology, arts and humanities.
Founded in 1911, A Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (Ciências ULisboa) is today a European benchmark in teaching and scientific research, with over 6,000 students, 650 professors and researchers, and 13 research centers equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories and scientific equipment. The past includes several major names in national science, but it is in the present that CIÊNCIAS makes a difference through international recognition and a 98% employability rate, which allows us to foresee a future marked by this Faculty.
