Student Conference on Conservation Science-New York
As a part of the only international series of conservation conferences featuring students, SCCS-NY provides opportunities for emerging scientists to professionally network, gain experience, and present and get feedback on their work. Interactions with peers as well as leaders in science, policy, and management will encourage collaborations, inspire further research, and create lasting professional connections.
“This is the only conference where I’ve seen mentorship being provided to students, and this is absolutely amazing. The feedback is very helpful and a chance to talk to mentors during lunches and during breaks is extremely valuable.” - Ph.D. Student
The 2023 Conference
Join us for the 14th annual SCCS-NY! This year's conference will be a hybrid event, so you can join online or at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. We will host three full days of events and activities at the Museum. Virtual attendance will be supported by live-streamed presentations and plenaries, in addition to online interactive workshops and mentoring sessions.
Who Should Attend?
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, or early-career professional pursuing or considering the field of conservation science, we encourage you to attend! Whatever your focus—biology, social sciences, medicine, economics, architecture, law—if it has relevance to conservation, we want to include your perspective.
