Twenty years ago, the first NEOBIOTA Conference has been organised. During this period, our comprehension on alien species is continuously increases. Same as the number of challenges caused by the alien species. Humans, as driving force and main ecological engineer nowadays, play a crucial role in alien species invasions as well. A role that has two faces or two mutually opposite characters, just as was the case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella. We are responsible for the dispersal of alien species (on purpose or accidentally), and creating (disturbed) habitats that are suitable for alien species to become invasive. However, we also are trying to manage and control them, to increase public awareness and increase citizen science activities. Because all of these, and much more, we put central focus on human role in biological invasions at this year NEOBIOTA Conference… Upper text was written as an announcement of NEOBIOTA2020 Conference on the web pages launched at the beginning of year 2020. At that time, SARS-CoV-2 virus just started its way to conquer the world, and put central focus of whole planet on itself, affecting every aspect of our lives. The virus has confirmed effectivnes of humans as vectors, and kind of recreation of the Pangea in the Anthropocene, in sense of overall connectivity throughout the planet. Connectivity that any biological invasion expert is very interested in. Unfortunatelly this connectivity exploited by SARS-CoV-2 virus, has created extraordinary circumstances, under which organisation of the NEOBIOTA Conference this year has become unique experience that can be best described in one word by – uncertainty! Despite this, your interest and determination to continue with joint work on comprehension of alien species related processes and impacts remained intact, and you have sent interesting contributions with your experience, results and knowledge related to invasive species. We were determined not to fail your expectations and efforts, and continued with the organisation of the Conference, which will be definitively completely different from all previous ones. Let us hope, that it will be unique of its kind, and that future ones will be those we are used to with less on-line and more on-site participants, lively post-session discussions and enjoying social programme.
