Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS)
The Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) is a network of leading universities cooperating in the fields of Natural Resource Management, Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, Life Sciences, Veterinary Sciences, Food Sciences, and Environmental Sciences.
The focus of ELLS is on joint teaching and learning, student and staff mobility, and quality assurance. These activities will result in highly qualified graduates, who are prepared for the demands of the European and international market. Furthermore, through the sharing of expertise and resources, this network will enhance the national and international position and potential of all partner universities, as part of the development and implementation of their degree programmes.
Through this network, BOKU realizes many international (educational) projects, like international masterprogrammes, summer schools, scientific student conferences...
The member universities are:
- Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU)
- Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CULS)
- University of Hohenheim (UHOH)
- Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS-SGGW)
- Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR)
- University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU)

ELLS Scientific Student Conference 2023

University of Hohenheim, 17-18 November 2023
ELLS General Assembly and Forum
Communicating (about) Biodiversity
University of Hohenheim, 16.-17. November 2023
The University of Hohenheim hosted the annual conferences of the Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) from November 16 to 18. The BOKU joined with almost 50 students and 14 staff members!
The topic's of this year's networking conference for staff members of the ELLS was "Communicating (about) Biodiversity". Different stakeholders used the panel discussion "Food production in times of mass extinction - starving for biodiversity" to discuss how the scientific knowledge about biodiversity loss can be transferred to society. In conlusion, the panel and the ELLS participants agreed that we need to re-think agriculture.
ELSA the Euroleague Student Association, received the ELLS Award 2023 for special merits within ELLS. Our congratulations! ELSA is not only the voice of the students and an important decision maker within the network, but also organises the Scientific Student Conference.
Under this year's topic "The Power of Science - Many Perspectives on our World" students of all ELLS universities presented their bachelor and master theses. As every year, the best poster and oral presentations were awarded.
We cordially congratulate the award winners from BOKU:
