AEES 2023: American Ecological Engineering Society Annual Meeting 2023 University of South Florida Tampa, FL, United States, June 6-9, 2023

The annual meeting of the American Ecological Engineering Society provides an opportunity for professionals (scientists, engineers, and policymakers) as well as students in the field to share ideas while fostering education, outreach, and professional development. With this meeting, we hope to further demonstrate the scope of Ecological Engineering and how the field’s core principles are used to solve environmental challenges. The key purpose of the meeting is to allow science and engineering students to showcase their work in the field, and bring them together with industry professionals who can provide guidance and insights to entering the industry.

Presentation Submission Guidelines

This meeting will have both oral and poster presentations. Submissions will be done ahead of the conference via the Easychair.org program management tool.

Oral Presentations
