The call for proposals for the 2015 Ecsite Annual Conference closed yesterday at midnight. We received 168 session proposals (that’s 11 more than last year), 7 pre-Conference workshop proposals, 28 travelling exhibition proposals and 4 project showcase poster proposals! Many thanks to all contributors. A quick scan through the proposed sessions shows that most had fun with food metaphors… We are now busy compiling proposals for analysis by the Annual Conference Programme Committee. Authors will be hearing back mid November. Registration opens in February.
