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.
Theme: “Tropical biodiversity: surviving the food, energy and climate crisis”.
For detailed information, please see http://atbc2010.org/.
The ATBC Asia-Pacific Chapter will be hosting Experimental Design & Data Analysis (12-16 Jul) and Scientific Paper Writing (17 Jul) workshops, and a 6-week fieldcourse on Biodiversity, Conservation and Sustainable Development (25 Jul – 4 Sep) in conjunction with the ATBC Bali 2010 meeting. The training is targeted at graduate entry-level students (MSc or 1st -2nd yr PhD) or equivalent-level researchers in government or non-governmental organisations.
A limited number of Course Fellowships and Travel Awards are available for participants from lower-income countries in the Asia-Pacific region. However, given the limited number of awards available, prospective participants are advised to seek alternative sources of funding where possible.
