Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Animals — Global Sustainability and Animals: Welfare, Policies and Technologies (IECA2021) to be held online from 29 November 2021 to 13 December 2021.
This free e-conference is organized by the MDPI open-access journal Animals (Impact Factor 2.725), and is a follow-up to the successful 1st International Electronic Conference on Animals — Global Sustainability and Animals: Science, Ethics and Policy. Encouraged by the great success of the IECA2020, this new conference is expected to attract a large audience to continue the focus on Sustainability and Animal Systems:
This online event will allow to share your presentations worldwide, making your work available for an international audience to read and comment, and sharing ideas on the discussed topics.
All submitted abstracts will be evaluated by the conference Scientific Committee. Upon acceptance, authors will be invited to submit a conference paper along with a slide or poster presentation of their work. All accepted papers will be published in a dedicated issue of the MDPI journal Biology and Life Sciences Forum. After the conference, all participants will be encouraged to submit a full paper to a dedicated Special Issue in Animals, for which there will be a 30% discount on the article processing charges (APC).
During the conference, a number of internationally renowned speakers will share their state-of-the-art research, through a series of pre-recorded talks and free live-streaming sessions, which will also include a Q&A session to allow audience participation.
We hope that you will join this e-conference to exchange ideas, start fruitful collaborations, and make this second conference another great success.
Kind regards,
