Call for symposia
To promote collaboration and interdisciplinary dialogue, we invite you to propose symposia with specific topics. Proposals are encouraged to address the congress theme, if appropriate, but doing so is not necessary. Any timely and coherent subject of broad ecological interests will be considered. We also welcome proposals that explore interdisciplinary connections with areas of social and natural science outside of ecology.
Each symposium should have 8 to 10 speakers (15 min. presentations plus 5 min. discussions). The content of symposium should follow the form given at
http://www.intecol.org/2017_Beijing_Congress/SYMPOSIUM_APPLICATION_FORM.docx.
The deadline for symposium submission is May 1, 2016. Please submit your proposals to [email protected] and [email protected]. The Congress Scientific Committee (CSC) will evaluate the symposium proposals and participants will be required to submit abstracts afterwards.
