Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you to ERIDOB2026, the 15th conference of European Researchers in Didactics of Biology, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, August 24th-28th 2026.
ERIDOB aims to bring together researchers in didactics of biology from around the world to share and discuss their research and the results of their work. The association was founded in 1986 by Pierre Clément and Horst Bayrhuber and has since organized a conference every two years. It is a great honor for us to hold the most important conference that we have in Europe on Biological Education.
We will meet in the historical Roman city of Ljubljana in Slovenia. In 1991 Slovenia appeared on the global political map as an independent country. However, Slovenians laid foundations for statehood more than a thousand years ago. The country’s extraordinary geographical position played an important role in this process, and the diverse landscape has marked the country’s rich natural and cultural heritage, inspired the creativity of its inhabitants, and produced a number of exceptional individuals. We will be hosted by the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Education, which has more than 75 years of tradition.
In the current period, which is marked by both a strong expectation from science to meet the challenges of our era and by the discrediting of scientific results, the theme of the ERIDOB 2026 Conference will be “Biology education paving the way for our common future“. We are confident that it will be an excellent opportunity to initiate in-depth discussions with other scholars in the field of biology didactics.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Ljubljana!
PS: In line with the decision that has been taken at the general assembly in 2022, the official language of the conference will be English.
