Training

Three different formats of training will be available during the conference.

Skills sessions (free for all attendees of meeting)

Cover career-building skills such as presentation and communication, and conservation in practice.

Mentoring (free for all attendees of meeting)

The mentoring aims to allow early career researchers to find a mentor who best matches the particular skills they need, and to work with them through the conference on areas which are of most value to them.

Extended Workshops

The final selection of workshops is not yet available, but a tentative list of workshops based on our workshops last year are listed below. There will be a small fee to cover venue and catering costs during extended workshops, although we will do our utmost to keep this to a minimum.

If you are planning to only participate in the workshop, you can enter for it at another website (please click here), however the ATBC-AP conference participants has the priority.

We also have a New workshop on Nature Photography!

Workshop 8: Chien Lee-Closeup Photography for the Field Biologist

Photography has always played an essential role in the way that biology is communicated to the world, and with the advent of digital imaging technologies it is also a vital tool in modern research. The affordability of digital cameras has made their use more prevalent than ever before and today nearly all biologists utilize dSLRs in one fashion or another. Closeup photography can be technically demanding but it has the potential to provide images with astounding detail of small subjects. In this talk and workshop we will discuss a range of techniques that are employed in closeup photography, with the aim of producing images that are not only technically precise but also aesthetically pleasing.

Participants of the workshop will require their own dSLR camera.
