Have a look at my Blog Post regarding my experience at the 15th EOU Congress!

Had a blast presenting my work at two conferences! Over the past month, I presented my 2nd PhD chapter on Mediterranean Gull migration at the 15th European Ornithologists' Congress (Wales) and the 22nd Italian Ornithological Conference (Puglia). Grateful to my 18 collaborators who made it possible!

Once again, many thanks to the BOU for awarding me the Conference Attendance Grant!

My second PhD chapter has been accepted for an oral presentation at the 15th EOU Congress in Bangor, Wales! I’ll be presenting my research on the Mediterranean Gull. Excited to discuss about this rather chaotic species! #EOU2025 #Ornithology #BirdMigration #MediterraneanGull #PhD #BirdResearch

Honoured to be invited to present my Master’s thesis remotely at the UNEP-WCMC Cambridge offices. In collaboration with BirdLife International and CEFE, my study focused on land-based threats to Atlantic seabirds, highlighting key conservation priorities. #Seabirds #Conservation #UNEPWCMC #BirdLife
