The Centre for Biodiversity Dynamics (CBD) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is pleased to announce that the Eighth International Hole-Nesting Birds Conference will be held from October 30 to November 2, 2017 in Trondheim, Norway. The conference aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, research scholars and citizen scientists to exchange and share their experiences in research involving all aspects of hole-nesting birds.
The scientific program will consist of eight sessions for keynote speakers and contributed speakers to present their latest research results, ideas and challenges within the fields of population dynamics, behaviour, physiology, life-history strategies, speciation, genetics, dispersal and movement, and climate change. In addition, there will be poster session, and a discussion session that will allow attendees to discuss research plans and challenges in parallel group sessions. A central focus will be to improve communication and interactions between different groups working on hole- nesting birds across Europe. Deadline for registration and submission of abstracts for talks and posters is September 25, 2017. The CBD will offer some grants that provide financial support for some of those who may wish to attend the conference. Those with financial need for travel and/or accommodation may apply at the registration.
