National Conferences & Seminars

20-23 October 2010 - Canberra

2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity and NELA will be holding its National Conference in Australia's Capital.

This will be a unique opportunity to hear challenging presentations on the politics of preserving the world's biodiversity for future generations.

The 2010 Conference will be held at the historic University House, the ceremonial heart of the Australian National University.  Opened in 1954 by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh as the first building on the campus of the newly-formed Australian National University, University House was home to the research students and professors of the University at the time.  Set in tranquil gardens with heritage-listed architecture and decor, University House has a history rich in academic prestige and ceremony.

An exciting program is being developed featuring eminent speakers and further details will be released as they become available.
