Welcome to the Australian and New Zealand Entomological Societies' Conference

INVITATION

On behalf of the organising committee, we extend a warm invitation to you to attend a joint conference of the Australian and New Zealand Entomological Societies to be held in Adelaide, South Australia from September 24 – 27^th 2006. The conference will bring together approximately 150 researchers (scientists and students) from a broad range of interests to discuss the latest research in entomology.  The conference has the theme of “Biosecurity – Caring for the Environment and Agriculture” and part of the scientific program will be devoted to this area. However, intending delegates are encouraged to submit papers/posters on their own areas of expertise and interest as the overall program will be designed to cover a much broader range of topics than just this theme.

All intending delegates are encouraged to submit  an “Expression of Interest Form” (click here) as soon as possible to assist the organising committee in the early stages of the conference planning.

THE VENUE

Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, is set beside the River Torrens between the Adelaide Hills and the waters of Gulf St Vincent.  The city centre, surrounded by parklands, is a charming blend of historic buildings, wide streets, commercial shopping, street cafes and restaurants. Adelaide is known as the 20-minute city as you can experience it all on a series of easy short walks. The city centre is just 6 kms from the airport.

The conference will be held on the North Terrace Campus of the University of Adelaide that houses most of its teaching and research facilities. Set in the cultural heart of the city on the northern edge of the city centre, the North Terrace Campus offers excellence in its educational and social facilities. Established in 1874, the North Terrace Campus is home to the schools of Physics & Chemistry and Molecular & Biological Sciences; as well as part of Earth & Environmental Sciences. The School of Agriculture and Wine is located on the Waite Research Precinct in the suburbs of Adelaide about 8 kms from the city centre. SARDI, the Australian Wine Institute and CSIRO are also co-located on this Precinct.
