2018 Ecological Integration Symposium

Across the Tree of Life: Interactions in Ecology and Evolution

The 2018 Ecological Integration Symposium Committee invites you to attend the 19th Annual Texas A&M University Ecological Integration Symposium on April 5th and 6th at Rudder Tower and Theater at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

The Ecological Integration Symposium is an interdisciplinary, graduate student led and organized event that unites students and renowned researchers in the themes of ecology, conservation, evolutionary biology, geography, and more.

During this free, two-day event we will explore ecology through the theme of Across the Tree of Life: Interactions in Ecology and Evolution. This year, plenary speaker and student presentations will be spread across both days. The symposium will close with a speaker panel and awards presentation on Friday afternoon.

We are excited to announce our 2018 plenary speakers:  Dr. Caren Cooper, North Carolina State University; Dr. Tim Coulson, University of Oxford; Dr. Gretchen Hofmann, University of California, Santa Barbara; Dr. Israel del Toro, Lawrence University; Dr. Rana El-Sabaawi, University of Victoria.  See the 2018 Plenary Speakers page for bios and links.

Judge Registration – We are accepting applications for judges for student talks and presentations from faculty and post-doctoral researchers and graduate students.

What is EIS?

Texas A&M University’s Ecological Integration Symposium (EIS) is an annual interdisciplinary event that brings together a diverse group of leading scientists and students from the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, and conservation. The symposium provides an excellent opportunity for both local and visiting students to showcase their work and engage in meaningful dialogue with the invited speakers.

Continuing the tradition of EIS since its inception in 2000, we are a graduate student-run event that is open to the public and free to attend.

The organizing committee is grateful to our sponsors for their support and to the large body of faculty, students and public who have made this event possible.
