NEW ZEALAND ECOLOGICAL SOCIETY
2021 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
Call for Abstracts
Submission deadline: 3 September 2021 EXTENDED TO 20 October 2021
Deadline has now passed but late submissions may be considered. Please email your abstract to nzes@confer.co.nz to make a submission.
This last call for submissions is due to the change in format to virtual. We want to ensure those who weren't planning to come to Kerikeri who may now be available for the virtual conference have an opportunity to attend and present.
NZES is calling to its members and members of the New Zealand Ecological community to submit abstracts for the 2021 conference. Submissions are welcome across all ecological topics. One of the key aims of NZES is to provide an opportunity for ecologists from all career stages to share their work annually. This conference has a very inclusive nature and all submissions are peer-reviewed.
