Dear shark and ray friends,
We are delighted to inform you that the EEA board has chosen the Dutch Elasmobranch Society together with Blijdorp Zoo Rotterdam as the host of the 2025 EEA Annual Scientific Conference.
After previous successful conferences hosted by the NEV in Leeuwarden (2014), Amsterdam (2017) and Leiden (2021) this years’ conference will be held in the dynamic city of Rotterdam in an amazing venue, the shark room of the Oceanium at Blijdorp Zoo.

We hope to meet you at a stimulating conference where the latest and greatest in elasmobranch research will be presented. In keeping with the EEA’s role in being on the forefront of scientific and policy development for elasmobranchs, we have chosen as an underlying theme for this year’s meeting: “Tomorrow’s World; The next chapter in Elasmobranch science and conservation.”
We are working on putting together an exciting program and will update this website with information regularly.
