ESSP Open Science Conference: CALL for CONTRIBUTIONS

CALL for CONTRIBUTIONS (Deadline: 01 May 2006)

We invite scientists, policy makers, practitioners, scholars, members of the private sector and journalists to participate in the ESSP Open Science Conference and to submit online abstracts (poster or parallel session presentations) through the OSC website (www.essp.org/ESSP2006/CallPapers_index.html). Please note that this call for contributions will primarily be for poster presentations, and that poster sessions will be an integral part of the Conference. Poster sessions will also relate directly to OSC parallel sessions. A list of the session titles and their keywords/brief descriptions can be found on the online submission form and on the Conference website (see web link above). Please note that we cannot accept late submissions (deadline: 01 May 2006) and that abstracts should not exceed 250 words. Thank you for your interest in the ESSP OSC.

Note: Limited resources are available to support selected international participants. Applications for assistance should be submitted using a form that can be obtained from the OSC website (www.essp.org/ESSP2006/FinancialSupport_index.html) - support is contingent upon acceptance of an abstract and the availability of funds.

ESSP is a joint initiative of: DIVERSITAS, IGBP, IHDP and WCRP

I hope this is of your interest. Regards,

Jorge Brenner
