Dear all, We are pleased to announce the 11th meeting of the European Federation for Primatology (EFP) that will take place in *Montpellier, Southern France, from Monday 29th June to Friday 3rd July 2026.* We invite you to present your work on human and non-human primates at this event. The preliminary programme, along with other practical information, is already available on the conference website . A variety of professional development opportunities will be offered to early-career researchers and students, including an interactive pre-conference workshop as well as networking and mentoring sessions. We are also preparing a special Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) program around the theme *"Gender in Primatology."* Further details will be announced soon. We are also launching an initiative to support colleagues who may not be fully comfortable with written or spoken English, by helping them prepare their abstracts, posters, and/or oral presentations. Please do not hesitate to contact us! More information is available on the website (see here ). To promote inclusivity and facilitate the participation of non-European colleagues who may face lengthy administrative procedures to obtain a visa to enter France, we are announcing that all submitted abstracts will be accepted for presentation (as either an oral communication or a poster). We strongly recommend starting your visa application process well in advance ideally at least six months before the conference (you can request an official certificate of participation see here ). Travel grants for students will be announced at a later date. *Official conference website*: https://www.alphavisa.com/efp/2026/ *Follow us on Bluesky* for announcements and updates: @efp2026.bsky.social *Venue*: Maison des Sciences de l'Homme de Montpellier (MSH Sud), 71 Rue du Professeur Henri Serre, 34090 Montpellier, located in the heart of Montpellier's historical centre ! *Contact emails:* Administrative enquiries: efp@alphavisa.com Scientific enquiries *ONLY*: efp2026montpellier@gmail.com *Key dates:* *Symposium proposals*: September-October 2025 *Abstract submission*: mid-November 2025 to mid-March 2026 *Early bird registration*: mid-November 2025 to end of February 2026 We very much look forward to welcoming you to Montpellier in the summer of 2026!
