Call for Proposals Workshops, Special Sessions, Field Trips Deadline for Submission: November 29, 2012
98th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America Minneapolis, Minnesota August 4-9, 2013 http://www.esa.org/minneapolis We invite proposals for workshops, special sessions, and field trips at the 98th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America. The theme for the meeting is "Sustainable Pathways: Learning From the Past and Shaping the Future." WORKSHOPS - http://www.esa.org/minneapolis/workshop.php 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 or 'hands-on' training. SPECIAL SESSIONS - http://www.esa.org/minneapolis/specialsession.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 do not conform to any single structure. FIELD TRIPS - http://www.esa.org/minneapolis/fieldtrip.php Field trips offer attendees an opportunity to visit ecologically significant locations such as conservation areas, restoration projects, research sites, local communities, and cultural landmarks. Full day and overnight trips are held on Saturday and/or Sunday, prior to the beginning of the formal scientific program. Shorter trips can be held during the week. Field trips may be linked with scientific sessions or workshops. Please visit the website for the 2013 ESA Annual Meeting for more in depth information on these and other types of sessions, including important deadlines. http://www.esa.org/minneapolis If you have any questions, please contact the Program Chair, Debra Peters, at debpe...@nmsu.edu, or the Program Coordinator, Jennifer Riem, at jenni...@esa.org.
