AAUS/ESDP 2013 CURAÇAO JOINT INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC DIVING SYMPOSIUM
Call for Posters
This year's mechanism to celebrate achievements of scientific diving programs is in the form of a poster. For long-term, established programs the spotlight will shine on sustained achievements in scientific diving and underwater research. For newer programs, many delegates will be interested in your activities and foci of interest. Given the international attendance at this year’s meeting, organizations will be able to showcase their programs to a much wider audience. Clearly, the effort invested in compilation of descriptive information of AAUS Organizational Member programmatic information can then also be applied to a number of other purposes to the individual program's benefit. If you participated in this program in 2012, please consider updating your poster and resubmitting for 2013. For organizations that did not participate, please join your colleagues in this event and take part in the celebration of AAUS scientific diving programs and the advancement of underwater science. The symposium committee has provided a sample poster template for your perusal and ease of production. Posters must be submitted electronically by September 01, 2013 to aaus@disl.org; printing and shipping is the responsibility of the presenter. If you need assistance with printing a poster or if your organization is not attending the 2013 meeting but you are interested in having a poster displayed, please contact the AAUS office (aaus@disl.org).
