vISEC2020 – virtual International Statistical Ecology Conference

vISEC2020 – virtual International Statistical Ecology Conference

Dates: 22–26 June 2020
Online Times: 8–11am & 9pm–12am GMT
Venue: SMC Conference & Function Centre, Goulburn St. Sydney: now virtual

The virtual International Statistical Ecology Conference is a biennial meeting of researchers at the interface between ecology and statistics. At vISEC2020 we have planned an exciting list of keynote speakers that bridge these two disciplines, as well as training opportunities for attendees, a forum for interdisciplinary collaboration, and a healthy dose of fun — all online, via this website!

Home base for the conference will be a Slack workspace, where registered participants can mingle, watch live-streamed talks (and recordings of talks you missed, or want to watch again!), browse poster presentations, interact with presenters and other attendees via text or video chat, plan Special Issue paper proposals, check our twitter stream, or compete at trivia night! There will be two conference sessions each day, no more than three hours in length, set at opposite ends of the Sydney day (8–11am & 9pm–12am GMT) to better align with timezones world-wide.

Latest news:
