Registration is open: International Biogeography Society Early Career Conference, Canberra, Australia

Registration is now open: The International Biogeography Society (IBS) and the Australian National University (ANU) invite you to the IBS Early Career Conference 2014.

The conference will take place in Canberra, ACT, Australia between the 7th and the 10th of January 2014, and is jointly supported by the IBS, the ANU Centre for Macroevolution and Macroecology (http://macroevoeco.com/), and the ANU-CSIRO Centre for Biodiversity Analysis (http://cba.anu.edu.au/).

The event aims to bring together early career researchers, along with more experienced scientists, working on many aspects of biogeography, in order to present and discuss their work and increase networking opportunities. Contributions will include keynote talks, oral presentations, and posters, and pre-conference workshops will be run for a restricted number of participants. Evening mixer events will offer a relaxed environment for researchers at different stages of their careers, along with IBS board members, to socialise. Post-conference field trips will give visitors the chance to see the beautiful surroundings of Canberra.
