The event was held on the 13.05.2017 in the Biological Faculty of the Plovdiv University.
There, students, lecturers and enthusiasts gathered to exchange experience, share what they have learned and to discuss important questions concerning ecology on national level.
There were some participants that were not ecology experts, but they stated their different point of view toward the ecology of the 21st century.
