Welcome to the XXI Iberian Congress of Entomology! In this 2025 edition, the congress will be organised by the Catholic University of Avila (UCAV), the Spanish Entomological Association (AeE) and the Portuguese Entomological Society (SPEN). The venue will be the \"Campus de los Canteros\" of the Catholic University of \u00c1vila, located at Calle de los Canteros s\/n, 05005 \u00c1vila.<\/p>

The members of the research group \"Plant Production and Agrifood Quality of the UCAV\" (PROVECAv), together with some members of the research groups \"Technologies and Methods for the Sustainable Management of the Natural, Rural and Urban Environment\" (TEMSUS) and \"Forest, Water & Soil Research Group\" (FW&SRG), have taken on the organisation of this event with great enthusiasm. It is a great challenge for us to organise a new Entomology congress in our university and in the city of \u00c1vila, more than two decades after having organised in 2003 the \"III Congreso Nacional de Entomolog\u00eda Aplicada\" with the Spanish Society of Applied Entomology (SEEA). On this occasion, it is a great honour for us that the Spanish Entomological Association has placed its trust in our team for the organisation of this consolidated international congress, now in its twenty-first edition, to which we hope to respond with the organisation of an outstanding scientific conference, in which our Portuguese and Spanish colleagues can establish fruitful exchanges and collaborations.<\/p>

The motto of this congress will be \"There is no planet without pollinating insects\", emphasising the important ecosystem services provided by these organisms for the health of the planet, ecological balance and human well-being, without which food production as we understand it today would not exist. For this reason, we will focus part of the congress on this topic, although there will be papers and communications that can be framed in any area related to Entomology and Arthropod Zoology, both in its basic and applied aspects. The thematic areas of the congress will be the following: \"Biodiversity and Conservation\"; \"Taxonomy, Systematics and Evolution\"; \"Biology and Ecology\"; \"Applied Entomology: Agroforestry and Sanitary\"; \"Dissemination and Citizen Science\"; \"Other Themes\".<\/p>

On the other hand, in the logo of the congress we wanted to pay tribute to one of our most characteristic Iberian insects, the \"isabelina\" butterfly or Actias isabellae<\/i>\u00a0(Graells, 1849), whose common and scientific names refer to Queen Elizabeth II. This emblematic saturnid, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful lepidoptera in Europe, was discovered in the province of \u00c1vila by Mariano de la Paz Graells in 1848, specifically in the area known as \"Pinares Llanos\" in the municipality of Peguerinos, on the border between the provinces of \u00c1vila and Madrid on the western slopes of the Guadarrama mountains, on the border between the provinces of Avila and Madrid on the western slopes of the Sierra de Guadarrama, where a plaque commemorating the discovery is still erected today, as well as appearing on the heraldic coat of arms of the municipality of Avila.<\/p>

\"Escudo\"\"isabelina\"<\/p>

The Catholic University of Avila (UCAV) is an academic institution founded in 1996, committed to the comprehensive training of its students from a humanistic, scientific and Christian perspective. With a strong vocation for sustainability and rural development since its beginnings, the UCAV offers degrees linked to the natural environment, such as the degrees in Environmental Sciences, Forestry and Natural Environment Engineering and Agricultural and Food Industries Engineering, as well as the Masters in Forestry Engineering, Agronomic Engineering and the PhD programme in Agri-Food Quality and Environment. This commitment to its surroundings makes the UCAV an ideal place to host scientific meetings related to Entomology and biodiversity conservation, thus strengthening the connection between research and the territory.<\/p>

The city of \u00c1vila, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, stands out for its imposing medieval walls and its valuable cultural legacy. But \u00c1vila is also a province of great natural wealth, with protected areas such as the Sierra de Gredos Regional Park, the Valle de Iruelas Nature Reserve and numerous natural areas included in the Natura 2000 Network, under the ZEPA and ZEC designations. This diversity of habitats and landscapes makes \u00c1vila a privileged enclave for the study of Iberian fauna and flora, offering conference attendees a unique environment for observation and scientific exchange in the field of Entomology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
