Session Conveners

Session conveners will be responsible for soliciting and selecting papers and abstracts, suggesting peer reviewers, and supporting oral and poster presentations. The Organizing Committee values equity, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of ICOP2024, so session proposals are welcome from two to three co-conveners representing broad perspectives.  One session co-convener MUST be within five years of completing their degree or diploma (early career) or associated with the Permafrost Young Researchers Network (PYRN).  Session co-conveners should also represent different institutions and/or countries. The International Scientific and National Organizing Committees will evaluate the session proposals based on the potential to attract participants and thematic overlap.

For any questions, please contact: info@canadianpermafrostassociation.ca

Deadline for submissions: 24 February 2023
