Extended Abstracts
Send us your extended abstract :
The conference organisers consider it very important that your contributions can be shared as much as possible with other scientists, but not at least also with policy makers and practitioners involved in the topics of the conference. Easy access to your expertise can be obtained by providing us with an extended abstract (short paper), which will be made available after the conference on DVD. Your contribution will be also added to the SER Europe Knowledge Base on Ecological Restoration, accessible via here. This tool aims to disseminate knowledge and case studies on ecological restoration in Europe to all stakeholders involved or interested in the discipline of ecological restoration. Key words will facilitate the browsing between available contributions on a particular subject.
Clic here for the list of key-words and here for the extended abstract model.
An 'extended abstract' is made in the template format as provided here and is no longer than 4 pages. Please focus on results, discussion and conclusions (e.g. lessons learned, best practice recommendations). Tables, figures and photos can be added to the abstract and are most useful to clarify your research or case study to the wider public. Please, carefully verify the selection of keywords as they are provided in the attached document. The extended abstract must be submitted as attachment in doc and pdf-file to ser2010@univ-avignon.fr.
The pdf-file of your text is important to us to verify the lay-out and correct use of rare letter characters. Use the following name rule: EA_SER2010.doc and EA_SER2010_.pdf. In case your files are larger than 5MB, use the free services of www.transferbigfiles.com, www.send2deliver.com, www.yousendit.com or other similar internet tools to send us your paper by mail.
The deadline for sending your extended abstract is September 30th 2010.
SER Europe Knowledge Base on Ecological Restoration in Europe
One of the aims of SER Europe is to disseminate knowledge on ecological restoration in Europe to practitioners, policy people, stakeholders and scientists. With our Knowledge Base we want to provide a tool for the restoration community to share knowledge, best practice experience, interesting case studies and so on.
After clicking here or on the title above, you will find a menu to search our Knowledge Base for any key word, such as habitat or vegetation type, habitat code under the European Habitat Directive, species name,degradation source, restoration measure or technique, author, country and so on. You can search whole documents or particular parts of documents (such as title, author, abstract, key words, main content body).
The majority of the information is provided by short papers (max. 4 pages), produced as proceedings of the SER Europe Conferences (Ghent 2008), and made available here for a wider audience in pdf format. The individual authors are responsible for the content of their contribution. Please, when consulting our Knowledge Base, also bare in mind that conclusions or results for one area or case can not always be translated automatically to other areas without further investigation or expert confirmation.
