Workshop Updates

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED!

The IEP Workshop Planning Committee is extending the deadline for abstract submissions. Even though there are limited spaces for speakers and posters, we encourage all interested scientists to submit an abstract. Presenters will need to attend the workshop in person for their presentation (this applies to posters as well as oral talks).

• Please complete the Abstract Submission Form.
• Submission deadline extended to November 1, 2023.
• Only submit one abstract per person as the primary presenter (though presenters may be listed as co-authors on other presentations).

Abstracts will be selected based on:

• Interest to the IEP community. Priority will be given to abstracts aligning with the IEP Science Strategy or that were derived from IEP workplan elements.
• Originality. Priority will be given to abstracts that have not been presented elsewhere, and to speakers who did not present at the 2023 IEP workshop.
• Collaboration. Priority will be given to abstracts that include collaborative work between two or more agencies or groups.
• Inclusion. The planning committee will strive to ensure at least half the abstracts chosen are from students or early career professionals.

If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Christine Joab (iep@wildlife.ca.gov) and Rosemary Hartman (Rosemary.Hartman@water.ca.gov).

To receive email announcements about the workshop, subscribe to the IEP Workshop listserv.

Information about the workshop will also be posted on the IEP Workshop web page as it becomes available.
