The MMEE conference gathers researchers who share the strange habit of building abstract models to answer ecological and evolutionary questions. The conference is also aimed at promoting the use of modelling approaches to the next generation of researchers, who are encouraged to attend and present their results at an early stage of their PhD or postdoc. This seventh Lyonnaise edition follows very successful meetings held at the University of Sussex (2007), the University of Bristol (2009), the University of Groningen (2011), the University of York (2013), College de France in Paris (2015) and City University of London (2017).
