Call for workshops
The
International Biogeography Society seeks proposals for workshops to be held at
the 2018 special International Biogeography Society meeting on Climate Change
Biogeography, 21-25 March, 2018 in Évora, Portugal.
Workshops
are an exciting part of IBS meetings as they offer great opportunities to disseminate and learn about cutting-edge topics in
biogeography. Workshops can be either in the form of a full or half-day
and ideally would offer conference attendees opportunities to expand their
knowledge in specific applications, topics, and opportunities for networking.
Workshops will be held on March 20, the day before the beginning of the
conference.
Previous
workshops at IBS meetings include: Spatial Analysis in
Macroecology/Phylogenetic Analysis in Macroecology - Species Distribution
Modelling - R-package: BioGeoBEARS - Map of Life - Communicating
Biogeography - Popular Science Writing - Visualizing Evolution in Time and
Space - Biogeography of Stress - Biodiversity Informatics - Bayesian
Statistical Analysis
Workshop
proposals should include the following information:
1) Name,
institution and email of organizer(s). Please delegate a single organizer
as the point of contact between the organizers and the IBS.
2) Title
of workshop.
3) Workshop
outline (< 600 words) targeting audience/technical details: depth of
knowledge needed by attendees/level of detail of workshop; Maximum number of
people in workshop (if it needs capping); room/power requirements.
IBS
will provide the following financial support for workshop organizers chosen
(NOTE - amounts are for the entire workshop, not per organizer, and assuming
that workshops have a minimum of 25 attendees): $1,000 (USD) per half-day
workshop - $2,000 (USD) per full day workshop.
Submission
