Welcome to the ICSE2023!
Welcome to ICSE2023 conference's website!
We cordially invite you to attend the 10th International Conference on Serpentine Ecology in Nancy, France on 12–16 June 2023.
The International Conference on Serpentine Ecology (ICSE), directed by The International Serpentine Ecology Society (ISES), has been held every three years since 1991.
It is one of the major international scientific forums in the field of serpentine ecology, bringing together botanists, zoologists, microbiologists, physiologists, geneticists, geologists, soil scientists, and other applied specialists studying the ecology of ultramafic rocks and soil.
A notable aspect of the ICSE is the multidisciplinary nature of research on ultramafic biota, including diversity, ecology, evolution, physiology, and applied research in phytotechnologies and conservation. The main goal of the ICSE is to create a platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences, and to promote scientific dialogue, among scientists from numerous fields who share interests in the study of ultramafic habitats worldwide.
If you wish to receive by e-mail the various information mails related to the congress, or for any other request, thank you to contact us by mail at the following address:icse@ul-propuls.fr

History of ICSE's
Since 1991, researchers from approximately 45 nations have participated in nine International Conferences on Serpentine Ecology (ICSE). Conference delegates have come from all corners of the world, including Albania, Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Cuba, Czech Republic, DR Congo, France, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, UK, and USA, among others. The ICSE conferences are coordinated by the International Serpentine Ecology Society (ISES), a formal research society whose members study geological, pedological, biological, and applied aspects of ultramafic ecosystems worldwide. Each conference has highlighted a region with intriguing ultramafic soil-biota relations.
1st ICSE in Davis, California, 1991
2nd ICSE in Nouméa, New Caledonia, 1995
3rd ICSE in Kruger National Park, South Africa, 1999
4th ICSE in Havana, Cuba, 2003
5th ICSE in Siena, Italy, 2006
6th ICSE in Maine, United States 2008
7th ICSE in Coimbra, Portugal, 2011
8th ICSE in Sabah, Malaysia, 2014
9th ICSE in Tirana, Albania, 2017
10th ICSE in Nancy, France, 2023
These conferences have provided an international forum to discuss and synthesize multidisciplinary research and have provided opportunities for scientists in distinct fields and from different regions of the world to conduct collaborative and interdisciplinary research. The 8th ICSE was hosted by Sabah Parks in Malaysia, on the island of Borneo, and attracted the largest delegation to date, 174 participants from 31 countries. The ninth edition took place in Albania in 2017.
