The final programme schedule is being prepared now!

Abstract submissions are closed.

Perhaps in March you did not know what your programme would be this summer?  And maybe you would still like to attend ECCB 2022 and share your scientific work at the same time.   If so, you can take advantage of this last-minute opportunity and submit an abstract for your poster!  A poster offers the opportunity to present your research work in progress to experts and receive valuable feedback. The session encourages networking and discussion among peers, which may lead to possible collaborative efforts!

The ECCB 2022 Steering Committee welcomes additional POSTER submissions for our oncoming congress to be held in Prague (August 22 - 26). We can offer new additional submissions for 40 posters. The submissions must be received by Wednesday, July 20th2022 at the latest. The online abstract submission site is available here. Please, follow our guidelines bellow when preparing your abstract for your poster.  Poster sessions will be held during the conference at dedicated timeslots (on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon), i.e., there will be no concurrent parallel sessions. Posters will be displayed at the meeting venue from the beginning till the end of the 4-day event, maximising visibility to your work.
 

The scientific program will include plenary sessions, invited symposia, workshops, organized discussions, short courses, poster sessions, and concurrent sessions of contributed oral presentations and speed presentations.
Oral presentations will be limited to 15 minutes, including 12 minutes presentation and 3 minutes for questions.    
  • The speed presentation session will include 15 speakers. To each speaker will be given 5 minutes to present the key ideas and results. After every three presentations there will be 9 minutes for discussion.  

  • Poster presentations are strongly encouraged. Posters will be displayed prominently and for long periods of time during the meeting; special sessions dedicated to posters and extended lunch breaks will allow in-depth discussion between authors and attendees.

  • Symposia presentations are dedicated for invited speakers only.


Please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing your abstract for a poster:

  • The abstract should include new information. Abstracts should not be submitted for presentations that have been given at previous SCB meetings or similar conferences.

  • The abstract should include specific information about the results and conclusions of the research. Abstracts that state that the “results will be discussed” will not be accepted.

  • The abstract should have a clear connection to conservation biology.

  • Abstracts that appear to be "adverts for activity" rather than reports of research outputs will be allocated to poster presentation

  • Individuals are limited to submit only one abstract as presenting author. Exceptions will be considered by the Scientific Committee, and are restricted to speakers invited to more than one symposium.

  • Each abstract will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee.

How to create your presentation?

• Your presentation needs to be created in Microsoft PowerPoint file .PPTX or .PPT (alternatively in .PDF)
• Presentations from Keynotes (Apple/Mac OS) are not supported and need to be saved as .pptx or .ppt.
