Ecological networks provide a compact representation of species interactions. As such they are a powerful tool for understanding the Earth ecosystems, how they have assembled in the past, and how they might change in future.

The aim of the present workshop is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of ecological network research, from the field-sampling of ecological data, to statistical inference methods for network reconstruction, to models of network stability and critical transitions.

Through this workshop, we hope to favour the integration of data-driven and model-driven approaches to the study of ecological networks, and to further develop and refine those tools that allow understanding, predicting, and reversing the changes that happen in ecosystems from the local to the global scale.
