NERN Annual Meeting

The Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting is a two-day event organised by NERN and NECOV (Dutch - Flemish Ecological Society) and supported by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The set-up of the 2010 meeting is in accordance with previous years, which were a great success with over 300 participants.

Each day starts with a plenary session in which a Dutch and an international world leader present their view on a specific topic in ecology. Accordingly, parallel sessions will be held covering the wide field of ecology. The session topics listed this year have been selected by an organising committee (Jacintha Ellers (VU), Rampal Ettienne (RUG), Lourens Poorter (WU), Martijn Egas (UVA), Wolf Mooij (NIOO), Nicole van Dam (NIOO/RU, Chair) and Jaap van der Meer (NIOZ)), who also approached the conveners of the sessions. Besides oral presentations, time will be reserved for poster sessions and discussion.

Those wanting to contribute to one of the parallel sessions, please contact one of the conveners of that session by sending a mail with the title and abstract of your presentation as well as a possible other session in which your presentation would fit when the session you applied to is full. Deadline for submission is the 10th of January 2010

After this date, conveners select the six best abstracts of submitted presentations (quality and focus of the session) foe their session. Accordingly, they inform all who have submitted a request to present. Those that cannot present in first instance may be able to present in another session where the presentation would also be able to fit in. All other will be asked to present their work in a poster.

Registration is now open. Please go to the NERN website to fill in the registration form. More information on the annual meeting is also available there.
