ATBC 2010 conference in Bali, Indonesia
The 2010 international meeting of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation will be held 19-23 July at the Sanur Beach Hotel in Bali, Indonesia. The ATBC, founded in 1963, is the world’s largest professional society devoted to promoting biological research and conservation in the tropics, and fostering communication among biologists working in tropical countries. This year will be the first time the full Association has met in Southeast Asia.
The conference theme is “Tropical biodiversity: surviving the food, energy and climate crisis.” We will tackle major environmental issues of relevance to professional biologists, managers and politicians, while also exploring the amazing biological diversity of the tropics, as exemplified by the forests and oceans of Indonesia. Many subdisciplines of biology will be represented, from ecosystem ecology to microbiology, from marine physiology to forest conservation, from biodiversity informatics to education. The conference will comprise plenary talks, parallel oral sessions and poster sessions, with banquets and cultural events. The conference location actually overlooks Wallace’s line and provides an excellent base for field trips to the various islands of Indonesia. Student participation is welcomed, and we plan to offer numerous scholarship and mentorship opportunities.
We invite you to submit proposals for organized oral sessions (symposia) before 15 December 2009, and to prepare abstracts for papers before 15 February 2010. General registration will open in November and close 15 March 2010. Please see: http://atbc2010.org/ for further details.
Come join us for an exciting meeting on a beautiful, friendly tropical island in the World’s most biologically and culturally diverse archipelago!
