ECRs attending a BOU conference
Reduced rates to attend BOU conferences
BOU early-career researcher (ECR) members benefit from reduced registration rates at BOU conferences. This special rate covers your accommodation and all your meals at the conference. This also buys you ultra-cheap access to some of the top ornithologists your student money will ever buy! Lots of spare time to socialise with them and all the other delegates at the conference, plus our annual student event (previous events have included journal editors Q&As and careers) and our now annual ECR workshop. And there’s a bar! So, what are you waiting for!?
Free places for BOU Low- and Middle-income Country members
We have a limited number of free conference places available to BOU Low- and Middle-income Country (LMIC) ECR members. This includes conference registration, lunch and refreshments. Members would still be required to fund their travel to/from the conference and any additional accommodation and meals.
Priority will be given to BOU LMIC members presenting at the conference.
ECR prizes
At our annual spring conference, all ECRs presenters are considered for highly-commended prizes for oral, poster and Bluesky presentations, awarded at the conference.
