Society for Conservation Biology (SCB)

The 2nd International Marine Conservation Congress will be held from 14-18 May, 2011, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. To maximize opportunities for developing country delegates and students to attend the conference, the IMCC2 Steering Committee will consider some applications for travel reimbursement. The availability of these funds is determined by the amount of money raised through sponsorships and the special registration fund. Priority is given to applicants who demonstrate that they are seeking other funding to supplement our support. Full funding is not provided. Only students and delegates from developing countries with accepted presentations (of any kind) are eligible.

All travel reimbursement applications must be submitted electronically using the form below. The Steering Committee will be making decisions as funds are available, once acceptance decisions have been made. Your on-line application must be submitted by 15 March, 2011, no exceptions.
