SPECIAL SESSIONS
Special sessions present a privileged occasion to deepen and broaden topics that you believe have not yet received the attention they deserve. In the spirit of the conference, we encourage participants to size this opportunity to free themselves from the traditional thinking frame, and further explore inter-disciplinary approaches that better reflect the complexity of environmental problems and their effect on our societies.
Proposal for special sessions should be sent to the Conference Secretariat before August 31st, 2008. Below is a description of the required information to include.
