DICE Twitter Conference

Welcome to the website for the 2022 DICE Twitter Conference! The event will take place on Thursday 28th and Friday 29th July and will feature presentations from DICE students, staff, honorary, associate and Advisory Board members, and alumni. The conference is free and everyone is welcome to attend and join in the discussions through Twitter.

What will the Twitter Conference involve?

A Twitter conference is a way to share research and network, and each presenter will be given 15 minutes to present six tweets about their work. This is an exciting opportunity to learn about the wide range of research being conducted around the world from the comfort of your home, office or field station.

One of the strengths of DICE is our fantastic network of members, honorary and associate colleagues, students and alumni who work together to achieve the DICE mission. This conference will highlight the high-quality, practical, applied conservation research carried out by DICE members around the world and will cover the following topics:

  • Conservation effectiveness
  • Livelihoods, well-being and outreach
  • Wildlife trade and sustainable use
  • Species monitoring and conservation
  • Ecological landscapes and seascapes
  • Human-wildlife coexistence
