[R-sig-eco] International Statistical Ecology Conference (ISEC2020), June 22-26 Sydney - registration now open!

[David Warton]

Dear researchers at the interface between ecology and statistics,



Registration is now open for your favourite conference - the International Statistical Ecology Conference (ISEC2020) - to be held on June 22-26, 2020 in Sydney Australia.



Abstract submission is due by December 2 2019.  Bursaries are available to presenters from developing countries.



Plenary speakers:

- Christl Donnelly (Imperial College, London)

- David Borchers (St Andrews)

- Di Cook (Monash)

- Kiona Ogle (Northern Arizona)

- Mark Bravington (CSIRO)



Invited sessions on:

- Reproducible Science

- Methods for high throughput community data



ISEC2020 is a family-friendly event - we plan to organise child care at the conference venue for anyone travelling with young children.



The first day of the conference is a Skills Showcase, with 90-minute introductory tutorials on spatial capture-recapture, multivariate analysis, hidden Markov models, data visualisation and more.  We have several spots left in our Skills Showcase program - send us your ideas!



Do you want to do some science while at the conference?  We plan to organise lunchtime round-table discussions on topical issues, where each table takes a topic and works towards a plan for a paper they could write to address it.  Outcomes will be reported to delegates in a plenary session, and paper plans will be submitted to Methods in Ecology and Evolution as an ISEC2020 Special Issue proposal.  All we need to make this happen?  Um, discussion topics.  And hosts!  Send us your ideas by replying to this e-mail (short title and abstract).
