Instructions for contribution registration
To strengthen the internationality of the Society and to encourage attendance of our foreign colleagues, the conference programme will be entirely in English. All presentations (both posters and talks) will be in English so that the conference is accessible to non-Czech speaking colleagues. We would like the conference to be a multi-disciplinary platform where ecologists from various specializations and approaches, be it methodological, conceptual or taxonomic, can meet and discuss their work. For this reason, all presentations will be given in one single session, instead of having multiple parallel sessions. We thus encourage talks with broad outlook and general implications that will be accessible to non-specialists. Abstracts are limited to 1500 characters, and titles up to 100 characters. Because of the time and space constraints, each attendee can only give one oral or one poster presentation. Abstracts are submitted here, together with the registration for conference: https://bit.ly/3MfRXu8
