The Scientific Program Committee is calling for proposals for symposia. Proposals will be considered until August 2008.
INTECOL will have a broad theme of Ecology in a changing World, two hemispheres one globe, and we encourage symposia that reflect those themes. But INTECOL is also a gathering of ecological scientists, practitioners, policy makers and educators and we encourage any symposia that will stimulate debate in these different areas. The structure of most symposia will be for 13 slots each of 15 minutes.
