SCCS–NY is an international conference, and we encourage graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, or early-career professionals pursuing or considering the field of conservation to apply to present their work. Undergraduate students conducting thesis-level research may also apply.
This year's hybrid conference (October 9-11, 2024) will have both virtual and in-person programming. All applicants must choose if they will attend the conference in-person or virtually during the application process. Both in-person and virtual participants can apply for talks or speed talks, but posters will only be presented in-person this year (but will be viewable to all in digital format on the conference platform).
The SCCS-NY Review Committee will select abstracts for presentation based on quality and relevance to conservation. Applications will be considered from any conservation-related field, including work in the natural sciences, social sciences, or the humanities. Only one abstract per person may be submitted for consideration.
In-person and virtual attendees (not presenting) are welcome and encouraged to register! All registrants must choose if they will attend the conference in-person or virtually during the registration process. Attendee registration will remain open through October 1.
The registration fee for all participants at the conference is $100 USD, which includes access to all presentations and events during the conference dates, as well as any materials and content available online afterwards.
Workshop applications will open March 15 through May 1, 2024.
