Call for Mini-Symposia

Call for mini-symposia themes:

 
We are excited to be back with the 2026 edition of Bird Monitoring in India Symposium! This year the symposium will be held on 11- 12 Sept 2026.

Every year you have been participating in mini-symposia themes decided by the organising committee.

This year, we are inviting the participants to suggest themes of mini-symposia related to bird monitoring. If you would like to suggest a theme and host a mini-symposium this year please fill out this form. Out of the entries, 2-4 will be selected for this year.

The proposed themes should be relevant to long-term bird monitoring in India. Past themes have included: monitoring wetland birds, understanding causes of population change, using passive acoustic monitoring for studying birds, bird atlases and more.

You are also welcome to partner up with a collaborator to host your mini symposia.

The deadline to send in your entry is 5 June 2026

The deadline has now been extended to 10 June 2026

The selected hosts will be free to choose the format for the mini-symposia. 

Each mini-symposium theme will be allocated 2 hours during the 2-day event. Hosts are free to plan this in a manner they would like. In the past we have had various talk formats – Keynotes, Short talks, Panel discussions, Speed talks, etc.
