Dear colleagues,

Since today we received just very few proposals for presentation in our symposium "The role of Earth Science collections within biodiversity research" in Biodiversity next conference in Leiden. https://biodiversitynext.org/list-of-symposia-and-workshops/

The abstract submission deadline has been extended till the end of this week (email bellow).

If you are intending to contribute by your presentation to the symposium, with scope focusing on Earth Science, please do so as soon as possible. Also please spread this request within your colleagues with potential interest to contribute. We have a great chance to discuss this topic within broader and important research community during this event. 

I am afraid, if the number of presentation for the symposium is too low, the symposium will be cancelled and the presentation will be distributed within available tracks. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have any question. 

Kind Regards,
Jiri
