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 15-17, 2025) will have both virtual and on-site programming. All applicants must choose if they will attend the conference on-site or virtually during the application process.
Applications to present at SCCS-NY 2025 are now closed, but you can still register to attend on-site or virtually! Note, if you require a visa to attend on-site, please start the process as early as possible. If you are unable to obtain a visa or your ability to attend on-site changes, you will have the option to change your participation mode and attend the conference virtually.
Additional Details
The registration fee for all participants at the conference is $125 USD, which includes access to all presentations and events during the conference dates, as well as any materials and content available online afterwards.
Unfortunately, SCCS-NY does not provide scholarships, travel funds, or bursaries to attend the conference on-site in New York City. We encourage you to investigate funding resources from your institution or other external groups to cover travel and lodging expenses. Virtual participation in the conference is an option for those unable to secure adequate funding for travel.
