CALL FOR SYMPOSIUM AND SCIENCE MARKET PROPOSALS

NEW DEADLINE: JANUARY 15, 2010

Dear colleague,

to anticipate possible problems with the online submission on December 31st, 2009, and to allow more time for preparing symposia proposals, we have set a new deadline.

Please note that there will be no oral presentations outside symposia. You will be able to give an oral presentation only if you are a symposium Keynote Speaker or if you later submit an abstract for an oral presentation within one of the accepetd symposia.

Symposia will have with 5 speakers. A symposium proposal is submitted by two Conveners from different countrieswho select two Keynote Speakers (one or both Conveners can be a Keynote Speaker) whereas the remaining three speakers will be selected later among the abstracts submitted for oral presentations.

Science Markets can have any format (workshop, round table, technical meeting, etc.). Proposals should be submitted by at least two Conveners from different countries. Priority will be given to proposals which are likely to be interesting for a large number of participants.

Plenary lectures will be given by Joan Strassmann (Rice University, Houston), Elisabetta Visalberghi (CNR, Rome) and Martin Wikelski (University of Konstanz and Max-Planck-Institute for Ornithology, Radolfzell)

Please go to www.ecbb2010.org to find instructions for preparing your proposal and submit your proposal online.

Submission of Abstracts for Symposia, Science Markets, and Poster contributions will open on 1 March 2010 and close on 30 April 2010.
