I invite everyone to join the Nature Network forum called Canadian Science Policy Conference and to let your colleagues know about it. (There’s also a group by the same name on FaceBook).

For more information on the scope, objectives, and themes of the conference, review the Canadian Science Policy Conference Strategic Plan (PDF) at http://www.sciencepolicy.ca/strategicplan.pdf

The Organizing Committee of the 2009 Canadian Science Policy Conference is seeking energetic volunteers to join the Organizing Committee and/or serve on sub-committees to support the planning of this national-level conference, to be held in Toronto in October 2009.

Sought-after areas of expertise include: Finance, Logistics, Advertisement & Communication, Website & IT, Revenue Development, Evaluation, and Graphic Design. Previous experience in event planning would be considered an asset, but is not required.
