The European Ornithologists' Union

The European Ornithologists' Union has been founded as an equal partnership among avian biologists throughout Europe to provide an international forum for the advancement of European ornithology in all its aspects. In fulfilment of this objective, the EOU will

• organise biennial conferences, each hosted by a different member country
• provide a platform for smaller thematic ornithological groups
• publish the new scientific journal Avian Science: the European Journal of Ornithology

 Statutes, Council and Addresses

The EOU is a society under Swiss law, open to members from any country. A General Meeting will be held at every Conference, normally every two years. The business of the Union is conducted by the Council. For the complete Statutes, consult the EOU-web site at www.eou.at.
