The congress' scope included all issues related to the animal systematics, ecology, phylogeny, phylogeography, and population genetics in Southeastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean region and research concerning all aspects of animal biodiversity (terrestrial, subterranean, freshwater and marine) within a geographical region that includes the Balkan and Italian peninsulas, Asia Minor and Anatolia, as well as the Near East and the Mediterranean coasts of north-eastern Africa. The official language of the 12th ICZEGAR was English.
Experience gained from the 11 previous successful congresses of this series during the last 33 years has shown that the meeting has become an important forum for contact and information exchange between scientists working on a wide range of subjects at a region with very high biodiversity. Participants have the opportunity to discuss and collaborate on many basic and applied research subjects, such as conservation biology, biogeography, fisheries, population ecology, phylogenetics etc.
