The 5th European Congress of Conservation Biology (ECCB 2018) attracted over 500 abstract submissions before the January 10th deadline.
Due to many requests to consider further submissions, the abstract submission deadline is extended by a couple of weeks, to January 31st - but this is the first and last extension, so get in now if you want to join us in Jyväskylä, Finland in June!

ECCB 2018 features some special things:
- All abstracts are peer-reviewed by authors of other abstracts, plus peers assigned by the Scientific Committee, using the unique quality peer review process developed by Peerage of Science.
- If your abstract is accepted, it gets a DOI and is published in the University of Jyväskylä Open Access repository JYX - you get an open access peer-reviewed publication out of your trip to Finland, with zero extra charges! (If you do not want your abstract published, that is OK too: after submission you can choose "Do Not Publish").
- Ever wished a conference would give you a dedicated place where people who missed your talk, or who had a comment but no time to say it, could meet you later? Or what if your talk is on the last day, and you wish there was a place to promote it during one the first days and attract people to come hear you? ECCB 2018 does this! Just choose "Oral + Poster" as your submission type, and you are set to have both.
- Free childcare, and Congress is open for children below the age 16, no registration needed.
- And of course, there is a chance you might meet us, the founders of Peerage of Science in person... (but do come nontheless!).
Kind regards
