Open Call | Poster Presentations
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*University of Victoria, Canada*
The Centre for Aboriginal Health Research (CAHR), in collaboration with
Network Environments for Aboriginal Research BC (NEARBC), and the Water
and Aquatic Sciences Research Programme - all based at the University of
Victoria - is hosting a two-day *Consensus Conference on Small Water
Systems Management for the Promotion of Indigenous Health* on March
21-22, 2010, to coincide with the United Nations World Water Day. Four
major themes to be covered by the conference are: science and
technology; government policy; traditional knowledge and spirituality;
and, Indigenous politics and advocacy. These themes may be explored from
many geographic focus points including local, provincial, national, and
international.
To supplement the paper presentations made in formal plenary sessions;
to showcase the diversity of research undertaken by students,
communities, and interest groups; and to create opportunities for
students to develop their public speaking and networking skills; the
*Conference Preparatory Committee* is including time in the conference
agenda for students to use poster presentations to disseminate their
research to conference participants and guest speakers.
The *Conference Preparatory Committee* will evaluate submissions based
on quality and relevance. Submissions received after the deadline will
not be considered unless prior arrangements have been made with the
conference coordinator. Successful applicants will present their work at
the conference in March and abstracts for their posters will be
published in the final report of the conference proceedings. Because of
this, conference sponsors require a non-exclusive copyright license for
posters and poster summaries. As there is limited funding available to
subsidize poster presenters' travel expenses, successful applicants will
be encouraged to explore other sources to fund their participation in
this event.
Please submit a one-page summary to *Danielle Perron* at dperron(a)uvic.ca
<mailto:dperron@uvic.ca> by *February 1, 2010*.
Summaries should include:
* Background, purpose, methods, findings (or preliminary findings,
or expectations) and conclusions.
* Contact information.
* Level of education or occupation, and institutional affiliation.
* Maximum allowable dimensions for posters will be 3'x5'.
Important Dates:
* *February 1, 2010* - /Application deadline for poster presentations/
* *February 15, 2010* - /Applicants notified of their success/
* *March 21-22, 2010* - /Conference dates/
There will be no registration fees for attending this conference and
general registration will be announced at a later date on the CAHR
website (www.cahr.uvic.ca <http://www.cahr.uvic.ca>).
Questions can be directed to *Danielle Perron* at dperron(a)uvic.ca
<mailto:dperron@uvic.ca>.
The Centre for Aboriginal Health Research and collaborating partners
thank you for your interest.
