The 3rd INTP Autumn School “Syntheses in Theoretical Community Ecology” will take place from October 6 to 11, 2025 in Ariège, in the French Pyrenees. Its target is an interdisciplinary audience of researchers (including graduate, post-doctoral and early career) with strong prior experience in theoretical community ecology and modelling.

Application deadline: July 31, 2025

Details and application: http://intp.science/events/2025-autumn-school

Every edition draws on the previous ones to progress toward a more unified perspective on theory in community ecology. The program is constructed jointly by the lecturers, revisiting a broad spectrum of topics from niches to networks and stability, in order to emphasize the many explicit or implicit bridges and gaps between leading theoretical approaches.

The goal is for each attendee to take a step back from their accumulated knowledge, and formulate a synthetic and critical viewpoint on the field’s current state and open questions.
The school will take place at the INTP campus in Surba, a small village in the French Pyrenees, accessible by train from Toulouse (international airport).

Total fees: 700 euros covering tuition, scheduled activities, accommodation and (vegetarian) meals.

Team: Matthieu Barbier (CIRAD), Azenor Bideault (INTP), Arnaud Sentis (INRAE).
Invited seminars: Profs. Michel Loreau (CNRS) and Mathew Leibold (online, U Florida).
+ other surprise guests (to be confirmed).
