Global Lakes Eco Obs Network meeting
30/06/10 22:50 Filed in: Conference | Research
The Global Lakes Ecological Network eleventh meeting (GLEON 11) will be held 17-22 October 2010 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China - less than four months away! Information about the program, registration and travel will be posted to the GLEON 11 web site (http://gleon.org/index.php?pr=GLEON_11) in the coming weeks.
REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE
If you are interested in attending, you need to complete the Request to Participate form (http://gleon.org/drupal_site/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=14) by Monday 19 July. Note that this is not the Registration form. The Registration form will be posted in early August. The Request to Participate form just let's us know that you're interested in attending so we can develop the invitation list.
VISA REQUIREMENTS
If you are thinking about attending GLEON 11, in addition to completing the Request to Participate form, you are strongly advised to check with your Embassy right away about passport and visa requirements. Often, letters of support will be required in order to obtain a visa and we need to know who will need letters as soon as possible. Also, for U.S. citizens - and maybe others - your passport must be valid for at least another six months and must have at least one blank visa page in it. (For U.S. citizens, a good place to check requirements is the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the US at http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/ywzn/lsyw/vpna/.)
ATTENTION STUDENTS
Students are invited to apply for financial support for travel to GLEON 11. The application process will be entirely via the web this time and it is under development. Another email will be sent next week announcing when it is ready to go. Applications will be accepted through July 19. In the meantime, please complete the Request to Participate form as that will also be required.
If you have questions, let me know. Thanks!
