2011 STUDENT CONFERENCE ON CONSERVATION SCIENCE-NEW YORK (SCCS-NY)
American Museum of Natural History New York City
12-14 October 2011
SCCS is the only international conference designed for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early-career professionals pursuing or considering the field of conservation science. These conferences provide a unique opportunity for those beginning their careers to present their work before leaders in science, policy, and management. In addition to formal presentations, SCCS offers numerous opportunities to interact with senior-level conservation professionals at workshops, mentored lunches, informal gatherings, and networking events. Such interactions with established conservationists encourage collaboration, inspire new avenues of research, and launch lasting associations.
APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED: 2 May 2011
Who Should Apply to Attend?
Applicants wishing to present their work should have completed, or be conducting, a research project and will be selected based on the quality of their abstract as well as its relevance to conservation.

Only one abstract per person may be submitted for consideration.
