Insects symbolize this trend\u2014and, at the same time, the solution. Without them, humanity could survive for only a few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Day of Insects 2026 addressed this very issue and invited people to rethink the relationship between humans and

internationally<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since <strong>2017<\/strong>, Insect Day has been the leading insect-focused event in the German-speaking world and serves as a powerful advocate for insects. With its growing reach and renowned speakers such as <strong>Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen, Prof. Maja G\u00f6pel,<\/strong> and <strong>Prof. Josef Settele<\/strong>, the event has given insects a voice that is heard far and wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This voice is now being carried forward at the European level: In collaboration with the <strong>Leuven Nature and Biodiversity Council<\/strong>, the first international Day of Insects took place in Belgium in the spring of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cDay of Insects\u201d is deliberately conceived not only as a scientific conference but as an open platform for discussions on societal change. That is why, once again, guests and the audience explored together the question of how a new coexistence between humans and insects can be shaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program and Space for Dialogue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The event featured a diverse program of keynotes, panels, workshops, and networking sessions.
