MEDECOS 2021 - General Abstract Submissions
On 6-10 September 2021, it will again be South Africa’s turn to host MEDECOS, and the FYNBOS FORUM (
www.fynbosforum.org.za
) - our local affiliation of researchers, managers and other stakeholders that meets annually to discuss the biology, conservation and management of fynbos ecosystems - will assist in organising and hosting the event.
The theme of the MEDECOS 2021 is "Partnerships for Global Change". Conference registration and the call for abstracts are open – please visit the conference website for details at
http://medecos2021.org/
Please read and follow the abstract guidelines carefully. They are provided here as a guide to help you plan in advance, and can be found here:
