YES CONGRESS 2009
Beijing, China 25th- 28th October 2009 - OPEN ABSTRACT SUBMISSION - 1st Circular
The Congress will focus on scientists and professionals working in the field of earth sciences who are younger than 35. The Congress will also include younger political leaders, representatives of civil society, and worldwide associations to create a dynamic network across disciplines to address the challenges of our time. A key goal of the Congress is to establish an international network of Young Earth Scientists (World Young Earth Scientists network (Y.E.S.). Additionally, while this meeting will focus on those under the age of 35, there is great hope to engage with more experienced individuals as well.
Scientific abstracts for the Congress are currently being accepted for the oral and poster presentations that are structured around the IYPE Earth Sciences for Society themes - Groundwater, Geohazards, Earth & Health, Climate, Resources, Mega-cities, Deep Earth, Oceans, Soils, Earth & Life.
The Congress will not only include presentations and key note speakers, but also a series of roundtables focusing on topics of global scientific and social significance.
We especially encourage presentations that provide innovative insights to these themes from young scientists and professionals under the age of 35 who are working in the field of Earth sciences. Additionally, we are interested in presentations that propose solutions that are applicable across a range of scales (local to global.)
