Call for Workshop and Special Session Proposals 94th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America Albuquerque, New Mexico August 2-7, 2009
Deadline for Submission: Thursday, December 4, 2008 We invite proposals for workshops and special sessions at the 94th annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America. The theme for the meeting is "Ecological Knowledge and a Global Sustainable Society", and proposals related to this theme are highly encouraged. For additional information, please visit http://www.esa.org/albuquerque. WORKSHOPS are sessions intended to convey specific knowledge or skills; they are not intended for the presentation of research papers. Workshops are frequently more interactive and informal than sessions within the formal scientific program, and often involve extended discussion. They are not scheduled concurrently with symposia, organized oral, contributed oral, or poster sessions. Workshops may involve one or several leaders/presenters, and may include computer-based or other ‘hands-on’ training. Workshop proposals should make clear what skills, tools, or insights participants might expect to gain from the session. For more information and to begin the submission process, please go to http://esa.org/albuquerque/call_workshop.php. SPECIAL SESSIONS complement the formal scientific program, providing an opportunity for presentations or extended dialogue and exchanges beyond what is usually possible in the regular scientific sessions. These sessions are not intended for the presentation of formal research papers, and they do not run concurrently with the symposium, organized oral, contributed oral, or poster sessions. Special sessions do not conform to any single structure. They may, for example, involve one presenter, a series of lectures or a panel; a film, video or illustrated lecture; or a discussion. For more information and to begin the submission process, please go to http://esa.org/albuquerque/call_specialsession.php.
