Between the 20th and 24th of September 2016, 85 participants from 25 countries met in Sighisoara in Southern Transylvania for the 13th annual conference of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group. In contrast to the previous 12 “EDGM, European Dry Grassland Meetings”, this year it was decided to change the name to “Eurasian Grassland Conference” to reflect the changing scope of these events. Nevertheless, the conference in Sighisoara continued many of the traditions of previous events, and below we provide some pictures and numbers as a reminder to those who joined, and to give an impression to readers who were not there!
