CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE THIRD ESA EMERGING ISSUES CONFERENCE
Submission Deadline: June 1, 2012
<http://www.esa.org/emergingissues/proposals.php>http://www.esa.org/emergingissues/proposals.php
ESA's Emerging Issues Conference Series, created by the Governing
Board in 2007, provides ESA members the opportunity to organize
special conferences highlighting emerging, exciting ideas in ecology
with the endorsement and support of the Society. The Series is
intended to address high-visibility issues of wide interest in the
science community. Organizers are encouraged to work across
disciplinary boundaries, to engage compelling speakers, and to
produce high-quality publications.
Emerging Issues Conferences will typically last 3 to 5 days and may
include plenary sessions, parallel presentation sessions, posters,
field trips, and workshop style discussions. The target number of
participants should be 60 to 100, including 15 to 20 graduate
students. Each conference will be expected to produce at least one
peer-reviewed publication, and additional products intended for
policy or educational use should be strongly considered. Approved
conferences will receive logistical and fundraising support from ESA
Headquarters.
The target date for the next Emerging Issues Conference will be
approximately 18 months after the topic is approved by the ESA Governing Board.
