Environmental Research Event June 2011

What: Annual Postgraduate Conference
When: June 26-29 2011
Where: North Stradbroke Island, Queensland

“Wicked Problems: Environmental Research in a Changing World”
 
The Environmental Research Event organising committee invites postgraduate environmental research students from any discipline to participate in the 2011 conference, to be held at the Moreton Bay Research Station, North Stradbroke Island, in June 2011.
 
To address this year’s theme, the ERE committee hopes to create a setting in which a range of Australian and International delegates from a variety of disciplines from Ecology to Economics, Psychology to Physics, have the opportunity to present and receive feedback on their research in an informal setting, with peers, as well as invited academic guests and industry representatives. Delegates will have many opportunities to meet and interact with others interested in solutions to environmental problems from a range of disciplines.
 
It is intended that the conference will be an opportunity to step back from our research and see it in the context of complex and interconnected environmental problems. With that broad view, we can connect with others who might be working on similar or related problems from different disciplines and with different approaches, and identify opportunities to enhance the outcomes and potential applications of our projects.

Delegates have three options for participation (note the due date for submission of abstracts was 4 Feb 2011)

• Presentation
• Presentation and written paper
• Poster

Papers will be peer reviewed, and published in the conference proceedings. Detailed submission guidelines will be made available soon on the conference website (www.gci.uq.edu.au/ERE-conference-2011).  A prize will be awarded to the most outstanding presentation.

For more details about registration and other conference information, please see the conference website: www.gci.uq.edu.au/ERE-conference-2011 or contact the organising committee - .

In addition to the main conference program, delegates are also invited to attend a post conference forum to be held in conjunction with the UQ Global Change Institute at UQ St Lucia campus on Thursday the 30th June – more details to follow.
