Invasion Science SIG meeting 2020
Exploring the use of tech and behaviour in invasion science
We are excited to be holding our 2nd BES Invasion Science Group meeting focusing on technology and behaviour change!
After the success of our first meeting, we decided this year to focus on three key areas in invasion science: the role of new technologies and innovation, social behaviour change and an early career researcher workshop, which will explore career paths inside and outside of academia in the world of invasion science.
These topics will be addressed through three half-day workshops with 3 keynote speakers, twelve 5-minute ‘lightning talk’ timeslots for oral presentations, and an afternoon poster session. Talks and posters from all aspects of invasion science research are welcome. Presenters must register for the meeting for their abstracts to be accepted: please find our programme and abstract submission information below.
