14 – 17 December 2020
Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Scotland
We are excited to announce the calls for thematic sessions and workshops are now open, with a deadline of 17:00 (BST), Monday 04 May.
Thematic Sessions
Thematic sessions provide high-profile forums for the discussion of timely, innovative and/or important questions, provide local ‘flavour’ within the programme, and showcase integration with disciplines outside of ecology.
We support submissions from across all ecological fields. However, this year, we are particularly interested in considering proposals with a focus on:
- New technologies for biodiversity monitoring
- Acoustic ecology
- Ecology and the bio-economy
- Microbiomes
- Nature-based solutions
- Multiple stressors
==> SUBMIT A THEMATIC SESSION PROPOSAL
Workshops
Workshops are interactive sessions that encourage networking, skills development, and creative thinking. There will be two types of workshops at Edinburgh:
- Ticketed longer pre-conference workshops (up to 4 hours) on the Monday afternoon
- 1-hour workshops over the lunch break on the first and second days
Workshops must involve audience participation and usually address at least one of the following categories:
- Education, training, and methods
- Communication, engagement, and outreach
- Policy, conservation, and practical applications
- Crossing disciplinary boundaries (incl. social sciences, arts)
This year, we particularly welcome applications that fit within the theme of:
- The role of ecologists in society
- Making research more sustainable
- The contribution of ecology to the transition to net zero
==> SUBMIT A WORKSHOP PROPOSAL
We look forward to seeing you at the @BritishEcolSoc X @sfecologie « Ecology Across Borders » (#EAB2020) Meeting !
