Call for Posters - 2014
Muskoka Summit on the Environment (MSE) is a biennial event that provides a forum for the public to explore and debate pressing environmental issues with leading thinkers in the field. The aim of the MSE is to promote an open dialogue between science and policy, so that current scientific knowledge on environmental issues is used effectively to inform government policy and management actions.
The third Summit, entitled Environment vs Economy: Resolving the Dichotomy, will be held in Bracebridge, Ontario on May 8-9th, 2014. We look forward to a thought-provoking and stimulating discussion, which will challenge preconceived ideas and create fresh and creative approaches to the issue.
The MSE Organizing Committee invites submission of abstracts for posters that describe innovative and exciting research (ongoing and completed) in the fields of environmental science or studies/policy related to our broad theme of valuing the environment, and closing the gap between economic and environmental considerations. Posters are encouraged from academia (especially graduate students), government, industry and the NGO community, and will provide researchers with a forum to present and discuss their findings with meeting participants at the Summit reception.
