Where: East-West Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa campus
Starting: 10-11-2008
Ending: 10-16-2008
Reg. Deadline: 04-30-2008
Description: Ecological Dissertations in the Aquatic Sciences (Eco-DĀS) VIII continues the series of symposia formerly known as DIALOG (Dissertations
Initiative for the Advancement of Limnology and Oceanography), but takes that series in new directions. Key elements of the remodeled symposia include:
- Fostering sustained, cross-disciplinary interactions among the top new researchers in ecological oceanography and limnology, to the benefit of both the science and the researchers.
- Increasing the success rate of new researchers seeking funding to build their research programs, by familiarizing them with the diversity of available research opportunities, and introducing them to representatives of funding agencies with whom they will interact in future.
- Increasing the likelihood of professional success for these new researchers by:
- Highlighting their initial work through high-visibility, open-access publication of a formal symposium proceedings volume;
- Focusing that volume on interdisciplinary and collaborative aspects of their work; and
- Establishing mentoring relationships between participants and established scientists.
