Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration EMCEI on July 15-18, 2026 in Aveiro, Portugal

The 8th Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (EMCEI-2026) builds on prior achievements to position itself as the key venue in the Euro-Mediterranean region for showcasing and debating cutting-edge environmental science research from this region and around the world (see Conference Tracks). EMCEI-26 aims to gather high-quality, original research papers for publication following peer review in the proceedings (published by Springer and indexed in Scopus) and in topical collections (special issues) of the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration and other journals on various multidisciplinary topics linked to the evolution and development of the Euro-Mediterranean environment in the past, present, and future (see Special Issues).

The main objectives of the conference are to support research and innovation, promote the exchange of scientific knowledge, and foster collaboration between Euro-Mediterranean communities and their counterparts around the world. The conference participants will have an opportunity to attend several presentations on new indicators and directions in research, development and innovations in the multidisciplinary fields of the environmental sciences. To this end, several high-profile scientists will participate in this conference. Moreover, a social and cultural program is planned, where participants can take a little time out to explore the wonders of Aveiro, Portugal, a coastal city renowned for its canals, Art Nouveau architecture, and rich cultural heritage (see Social Program).

Your participation in person or virtually will support EMCEI’s mission of ensuring a sustainable environment for societies in the region. We invite you to join us in Aveiro and contribute to and participate in an exciting conference in a stimulating environment at the 8th, hosted this year by the Physics Department (DFis) and the Center for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM) at the University of Aveiro.

Join us for a memorable experience in Aveiro!
