On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to Viña del Mar, Chile, to participate in the 11th International Conference on the Applications of Stable Isotope Techniques to Ecological Studies (IsoEcol 2018). The first IsoEcol to be held in South America, the conference will take place between 30 July and 3 August 2018 at the Universidad de Andrés Bello, Viña del Mar, Chile.
IsoEcol is rightfully recognised as one of the friendliest and welcoming meetings in the scientific calender - we will maintain this record here in Viña del Mar, providing an environment where students, early career researchers and established scientists can meet and talk isotope ecology in a friendly and sociable atmosphere.
Like previous IsoEcol meetings, IsoEcol 2018 will bring together an exciting global mix of researchers at different career stages from universities, industry and government with common interests in the development and application of stable isotope techniques to the ecological sciences.
IsoEcol is traditionally run as a single common session facilitating cross-disciplinary discussion, with evening poster sessions, and includes mid-conference field trips. Following recent IsoEcol meetings, we will also offer a number of specialist workshops led by leading researchers in the weekends before and after the main conference.
In addition to the great science on offer at IsoEcol, Chile is a traveller's paradise. We will provide travel tips for those looking to make a holiday of their time in Chile.
We look forward to welcoming you to Chile!
Submission Guidelines
We have limited space for oral presentations (IsoEcol is a single-session conference, with four days of talks). As such, competition for oral slots will likely be considerable. Oral presentations will be 15 minutes (12 minutes + 3 for questions)
We will also offer poster presentations, and authors can present multiple posters, or give an oral and poster(s) presentations
