Hi all (apologies for cross posting),
Please find below a call fora abstracts for general presentations at
PAOC14 in Senegal, October 2016. I would be very grateful if you could
circulate this among all your contacts who might be interested - please
don't assume I've already let them know, I have very few friends.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting lots of you in Senegal in October!
Colin Beale, on behalf of the Scientific Committee of PAOC14

The scientific committee of the Pan African Ornithological Congress
invites proposals for oral and poster presentations at the 14th congress.
Oral presentations form the heart of the Congress and will occur in
parallel sessions throughout the scientific programme. Many oral
sessions will occur as part of pre-organised symposia (see PAOC website
for mode details: http://www.paoc-africa.org/), but more than half the
oral programme will consist of submitted presentations selected and
arranged into a coherent programme by the members of the scientific
committee. We invite submissions for oral and poster presentations in
English or French on all areas of African Ornithology within existing
symposia topics, or in other areas.
If your abstract is accepted for an oral presentation, standard talks
will be allocated 12 minutes, plus three minutes for questions. Those
submitted abstracts not selected for oral presentation may be invited to
submit a poster instead. Two dedicated poster sessions will allow
greater participation across what is going to be a packed and
entertaining programme. Students in the later stages of their degree
programme are welcome to submit oral presentations, those in the first
half of their studies are encouraged to submit posters. Please also note
that when shortlisting oral presentations we will endeavour to maximise
participation, prioritising only one presentation per person (unless
talking in multiple, pre-registered symposia), and prioritising speakers
already registered at the conference over those with no confirmed payment.
If you would like to propose a talk or poster, please submit the
following via this link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zVQY56NEcM18vdyXqN-h38SveVHwPRPCYdaLde2POp0/viewform?usp=send_form
* The proposed title of the talk / poster
* Name, address and email of primary author
* Names and affiliations of all other authors
* 1500 character (c. 200 word) abstract
* A primary and secondary classification of the subject
* An indication of suitability within existing symposia
*The deadline for submissions is 3rd April 2016.*
We anticipate that submitters will hear whether their talk is accepted
for an oral or poster presentation by mid May.
