International Statistical Ecology Conference (ISEC) @isec-stats-ecol.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Luckily the early deadlines have not deterred our wonderful community from submitting proposals for workshops and presentations. We look forward to ISEC in México, and are doing our best to make it an event that folks worldwide can attend in person.

We’re also able to offer partial support to a limited number of students & postdocs. They’ll find out by end of August, and some folks may need this information first before being able to apply for a visa or find funding.

Some questions have come up as to why we set early deadlines for workshops & abstracts. Here’s why: Visas! It can take time to apply for a visa, find funding to attend, etc. The more time we can give, the better.
