Greetings!
ACES (A Community on Ecosystem Services), Ecosystem Markets Conference, and ESP (Ecosystem Services Partnership) will join together this year to form one of the world's largest meetings on Ecosystem Services and we want you to be involved!
ACES and Ecosystem Markets 2012 will be held December 10-14, 2012 at the Marriott Harbor Beach in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. We hope that you will make plans to attend this innovative conference which we anticipate will attract more than 600-700 participants and will feature presentations from every aspect of Ecosystem Services.
Submit your abstract today to become involved in this monumental event! www.conference.ifas.ufl.edu/aces |
Call for Abstracts!
|
Deadline: July 15, 2012
This deadline will not be extended.
Interested in participating in the ACES and Ecosystem Markets conference as an Oral or Poster Presenter? Submit your abstract today!
The ACES and EM Program Committee is seeking abstracts for both oral and poster presentations, and would like to specifically encourage the submission of natural science abstracts to provide balance to the program. All abstract topics related to ecosystem services are welcome and a good portion of the program will be filled by individually submitted abstracts.
If you are part of an organized session, workshop, or world cafe, then your session/workshop organizer has probably already informed you that you need to submit an abstract and the special instructions for doing so.
For more information on the abstract submission process, and for an editable sample that contains all required formatting, visit the Call for Abstracts page.
If you want to get feedback on your abstract or other research or just need a place to connect, visit the ACES Community Page in Ecosystem Commons! |
