7th IHDP Open Meeting:New Venue and Dates
26-30 April, 2009; World Conference Center, Bonn, Germany

2nd call for the 7th IHDP Open Meeting

IHDP is happy to announce a second call for the 7th Open Meeting. This call will be open from 15 August to 31 October and will give scholars another opportunity to submit papers or posters to be presented during the Open Meeting. It targets those who had not submitted an abstract during the first call but who became interested in participating due to the new dates and venue. It also provides those who have already made a submission with the opportunity to hand in one more paper or poster. All accepted papers from the first call will remain valid and the overall scientific framework of the conference will remain unchanged as well. The second call, therefore, will be open to contributions to specific thematic clusters, in order to ensure a coherent overall scientific agenda that is the product of contributions from both calls. Don't miss the opportunity to present at the 7th Open Meeting!
For more details about the topics that are part of the new call and the Open Meeting in general, please visit our new Open Meeting website at http://www.openmeeting2009.org

7th IHDP Open Meeting:New Venue and Dates
26-30 April, 2009; World Conference Center, Bonn, Germany

The 7th International Science Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change (Open Meeting), Social Challenges of Global Change originally scheduled for 15-19 October 2008, will take place from April 26-30 2009 in Bonn, Germany. The new venue will be the former German Parliament premises (World Conference Center Bonn) at the United Nations Campus. This will be the best way to fulfill our goal of bringing together a significant number of scholars, including early career and developing-country colleagues at a reasonable price. But the reasons for the new location of the Open Meeting in Bonn are far from being exclusively financial. Beautifully located at the banks of the Rhine River, the city has managed over the past decade to shape for itself a new profile as the German City of the United Nations and a centre of international dialogue on key issues of the future. Since July 1996, Bonn is entitled to call itself a UN City. The IHDP Secretariat, since 2007 the 14th UN agency in Germany and being part of the UN University, is looking forward to welcoming the global Human Dimensions community to the UN Campus.
