We are happy to announce that the 7th International Conference on Rodent Biology and Management will take place from the 5th to 8th July 2022 in Arusha, Tanzania. Although the tradition has always been to hold a mid-conference excursion, we would like to organise this at the end of the week over the 9th and 10th July in order for participants to take advantage of the many safari opportunities available in northern Tanzania from Kilimanjaro, Mt. Meru, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Serengeti parks, many of which are best done with an overnight stay. However, it is also possible to make a day trip to Arusha National Park for those who may not wish or do not have the time for an overnight stay. So we ask everyone to hold the dates of 5th to 10th July 2022.

We will soon be in touch with more details about registration, abstract submission, accommodation in Arusha and the ICRBM7 website portal. We very much hope that most participants will be able to travel to Tanzania to fully engage with the conference and meet with colleagues you have not seen for some years. However, we are also planning for virtual participation for colleagues who are unable to travel.

We are looking forward to hosting you all in Tanzania and reconnecting face-to-face.

Happy New Year and best wishes to you all for 2022.
