The 2013 SCCS-Australia conference successfully concluded

The inaugural SCCS-Australia conference, workshop and field trip program was held at The University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia, over 21st-31st Janu ary, 2013.  

The combination of a 3 day conference, 3 days of field trips and sightseeing in Brisbane and the surrounding region, followed by 4 days of training and workshops provided students with a unique and unforgettable experience that hopefully created lasting networks and helped launch their careers in conservation science.
