Overview
As a part of the only international series of conservation conferences featuring students and early-career professionals, SCCS-NY provides opportunities for emerging scientists to professionally network, gain experience, and present and get feedback on their work. Interactions with peers as well as leaders in science, policy, and management will encourage collaborations, inspire further research, and create lasting professional connections.
Details
“This is the only conference where I’ve seen mentorship being provided to students, and this is absolutely amazing. The feedback is very helpful and a chance to talk to mentors during lunches and during breaks is extremely valuable.” - Ph.D. Student
SCCS-NY is designed to foster dialogue and collaboration between the students, postdoctoral fellows, early-career professionals, and established conservationists in attendance. We care deeply about preserving the integrity of the work, research, and personal interactions of our speakers, mentors, presenters, and attendees. In order to find a balance between the expectations of presenters and attendees, and to make the meeting a safe and comfortable space for everyone, we have some basic guidelines.
Please keep in mind CBC’s meeting Code of Conduct and apply it to your written and oral communication. Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form will not be tolerated. Our speakers and presenters have invested considerable time and effort in the development of their material and copyright laws apply. We encourage open discussion on social media and ask attendees to share the science and ideas presented at SCCS with their followers. However, we ask that you be especially cautious about discussing the work that is being presented. Due to the nature of this conference you may be hearing about new or unpublished work that may not be suitable for sharing. If you choose to write about the conference following the scheduled sessions, you must gain approval from speakers/presenters prior to quoting, publishing, or otherwise referencing their research on the Internet or through other forms of media.

Whatever your focus—biology, social sciences, medicine, economics, architecture, law—if it has relevance to conservation, we want to include your perspective.
If you are a conservation professional or faculty member, consider attending and contributing to SCCS-NY as a mentor! Providing mentoring for our student and early-career professional attendees is central to the mission of SCCS-NY.
