International Congress for Conservation Biology
ICCB 2021: The Future is Now: Sustaining biodiversity for today and tomorrow
Proposal Submission Deadline
The deadline to submit proposals for symposia, workshops, roundtable discussions and training courses for SCB’s International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB 2021) is next Tuesday 16 March.
Visit the ICCB Program page for information on each session type and to submit your proposal.
We understand that Covid-19 temporarily complicates your ability to assemble a definitive lineup of speakers for an in-person event. Consequently:
- Proposals do not require a full list of committed speakers at this time.
- Starting in May, organizers who are short of invited speakers will have an opportunity to source talks from accepted abstracts for contributed presentations (oral and speed talks).
We hope this flexibility will help you organize a proposal in this uncertain time. Finally, please note that we’re prepared to move ICCB to a virtual format, if necessary (see ICCB 2021 Contingency Plan). Accepted proposals will be valid for both congress modules. Should ICCB happen in-person, we will accommodate limited virtual presentations in select symposia.
ICCB Announces its First Plenary Speaker!
We’re excited to announce Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka as an ICCB plenary speaker! Dr. Kalema-Zikusoka is the founder and CEO of Conservation through Public Health (CTPH), a non-profit that focuses on the interdependence of wildlife and human health.
Covid-19 has rearranged our priorities as conservation scientists and practitioners, highlighted humanity’s fragile relationship with nature and introduced opportunities to reposition biodiversity conservation in society. We are excited to spotlight Dr. Kalema-Zikusoka’s exemplary work on the interdependence of human health and wildlife conservation and obtain her insights on what conservation scientists and practitioners can do to help avoid future pandemics.
