Among the unique ADVANTAGES of this poster session:
(1) It is very reasonable in cost, for students it is only $29 , with publishing your abstract. If you are very limited in funds, we can give you additional discount.
(2) It is convenient – you can send you poster my mail. We interpret ‘poster’ in broad terms, so that you can send both a large poster and a mini-poster – just 3-4 pages; also, we may consider your abstract as a mini-poster, in this case you can send only 1 page of text.
(3) We will publish it not as a trivial collection of abstracts, but as a next volume of a series with a nice title; the reference for your publication will look as following: J. Smith, Studying organisms and ecosystems of this region (title). – Ecological Studies, Hazards, Solutions. 2011. Vol 17. P. 20-21. The editorial and advisory boards of this edition include prominent scholars from over 30 countries.
(4) All participants, including the distant participants, will receive a certificate of participation in the international conference on request; this Certificate may help you in your further career and you can mention it on your CV.
(5) The abstract is in a very useful format: you are welcome to include literature (references): 1-4 of your publications, and to mention some grant support if any;
(6) the poster session is an interdisciplinary conference so that both traditional and very new topics are within the scope of the session;
(7) a unique aspect of the session that you may present some material on your educational activities - it is possible to submit an abstract about your lectures or seminars or a lab course that you teach.
