The European Ecological Federation (EEF) is the umbrella organisation of specialist ecological learned societies in Europe.

Contents

Tasks

The EEF aims to be a forum for ecological science in Europe and at the same time a link organisation to other continents or international ecological organisations (e.g. INTERCOL). [1] To this end, it primarily aims to increase cooperation between national organisations, which is why only associations are members. Only individuals without a national organisation can become members directly.

Work

To increase co-operation, the EEF supports conferences and publishes its own journal. [2] In addition, the EEF acts in an advisory capacity for European institutions. [3] It responds to requests from the European Commission, proposes experts for advisory committees and invites political decision-makers to conferences in order to promote the exchange between science and politics.

Journal

The EEF publishes the journal Web Ecology since 2000 (ISSN 1399-1183). [4] The journal publishes research articles via diamond open access from all fields of ecology. The Impact Factor (2024) is 1,5 [5] and the journal ranks 125th of 469 ecology journals. [6]

Ernst Haeckel Prize

Since 2011, the EEF awards persons with the Ernst Haeckel Prize for extraordinary contributions to European ecological research. [7] [8]
