Next year in January the Environmental Decisions Group at the University of Queensland will be hosting the Australian Student Conference on Conservation Science in Brisbane, Australia. This sister conference to the original and successful Cambridge Student Conference on Conservation Science will bring together 100 post-graduate students from the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere to develop their skills and forge lasting professional relationships.
 
Aimed entirely at students, the inaugural SCCS-Australia conference offers a tremendous opportunity to network with early career conservation science professionals. The conference will be held over 21st-31st January 2013. Registration includes a 3 day conference and 4 days of training and workshops, as well as social events throughout the conference. Applications for abstract submission close on 14th September 2012. Interested students can apply online at http://sccs-aus.org/participate/apply-online.html
