SIL 100 and 36th Congress of International Society of Limnology
Published 08 February, 2022
Time: August 7-10, 2022
Location: Berlin Germany
“The next 100 years – Sensing and Safeguarding Inland Waters”
Founded in 1922 by visionaries August Thienemann and Einar Naumann, the International Society of Limnology (SIL), established the science of inland waters, encompassing lakes and ponds, streams and rivers, surface and ground water, and wetlands. This comprehensive coverage embodies the founders’ broad perspective. What is more, the course was set to consolidate limnology as a systems science that draws on physics, chemistry, biology and increasingly the socioeconomic sciences, while recognizing the value of twinning curiosity-driven research and analyses of real-world problems. Perhaps most notable, however, SIL and its conferences stand out by being genuinely international in nature, aspiring to represent science and people from all continents, a hallmark of the society from its inception at the 1922 inaugural congress in Plön, Germany.
The centennial SIL meeting will be organized as a hybrid conference with participants both on site and via the web.
