Awaji Island, Japan : 2-6 August 2009
Climate change has already significantly impacted the habitats and living conditions of many species, including our own. Anthropogenic pollution and myriad releases of biologically active substances into the environment have further changed the world for living organisms.
With this in mind, we invite you to participate in the 2009 Journal of Experimental Biology Symposium - Survival in a Changing World – where we aim to assess the impacts many of these changes have had on animal biodiversity and ecology, emphasizing adaptation and resilience in physiological systems.
Location
The Symposium will be held in the beautiful setting of Awaji Island, the largest island in Japan's Inland Sea, at the Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center, with accommodation in the adjoining Western Awaji Island Hotel. Within 90 minutes travel of Kansai International Airport or Kyoto, Awaji Yumebutai provides a relaxed atmosphere that lends itself to work, dialogue and recreation.
Programme
The Symposium will comprise presentations by a list of distinguished invited speakers and will also include open registration for a maximum of 30 additional delegates. There will be a poster session for registered delegates to present their work and plenty of scope for informal discussion. Click here for details of the programme.
The maximum total number of Symposium delegates is 60. Open registration places are limited so please apply early. Abstract submission is required for all presentations (invited talks and posters).
