CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE NEXT ESA EMERGING ISSUES CONFERENCE (formerly the Millennium Conference Series)
Submission Deadline: April 2, 2010 http://www.esa.org/emergingissues/ In 2007, the ESA Governing Board announced the new Millennium Conference Series, which 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, renamed the Emerging Issues Series in 2009, 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. 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. Details regarding proposals and submission can be found on the website, http://www.esa.org/emergingissues/.
