[Nhcoll-l] Reminder: SPNHC 2025 abstract submission NOW OPEN

Mon Mar 3 10:43:42 EST 2025

Hi all

The abstract submission deadline has been extended to March 10 due to numerous requests for additional time.  If you missed the deadline or are on the fence about presenting, please get your abstract submitted as soon as possible.  We have still not reached the total number of abstracts needed to fill three concurrent sessions so please consider presenting your work.

Abstract review will begin promptly on March 11 and run for a week after which abstract acceptances will be sent out.  Should any sessions not be viable due to a lack of abstract submissions, presenters will be contacted with the option of selecting another session or having their abstract rolled into one of the general sessions.

Thanks

Andy
on behalf of the SPNHC 2025 LOC

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Reminder: SPNHC 2025 abstract submission NOW OPEN

Reminder: The abstract submission process is now open for SPNHC 2025.  Deadline for submission is March 3, 2025.

The abstract submission process is now open for SPNHC 2025, to be held May 27-31 in Lawrence, KS and hosted by the Biodiversity Institute, University of Kansas.  More details about the meeting can be found here: https://spnhc2025.ku.edu/. We have had an overwhelming response to our call for symposia/sessions with a diverse array of subjects pertaining to natural history collections proposed.  The full list can be viewed on the website here: https://spnhc2025.ku.edu/sessions.

At this time, we invite you to submit abstracts for oral presentations (15 min.), lightning talks (5 min.), and poster presentations. Content may be presented in-person or pre-recorded. We are working on providing the technology to support remote participation for presenters.

Abstract submission will once again be handled through the Oxford Abstracts (OA) platform.

What you need to know

  *   See the 2025 Submission Guidelines for OA Abstracts: https://spnhc2025.ku.edu/oa-abstract-submission-guidelines. Please read the guidelines thoroughly before beginning your abstract submission and reach out with any questions.
     *   Examine the list of sessions (https://spnhc2025.ku.edu/sessions) to see which are open to outside abstract submissions and may fit your topic.
     *   You will be asked to choose a session after you submit your form.
     *   To submit to a CLOSED session, you must have prior consent of the session’s organizers (listed on the list of sessions).
     *   If none of the sessions seem to fit your topic, submit it in a contributed session or as a poster.
  *   Not all submissions for oral presentations may be accepted due to limited capacity. In some cases, presenters may be asked to present a poster.
  *   When you are ready to start your abstract, follow the Submission Guidelines. We recommend compiling your title, authors, author affiliations, and abstract offline, before starting your submission online.  Your submission can be edited at a later date (before the deadline) as long as you click submit before exiting.
  *   Submitting authors will be contacted by email through OA (SPNHC 2025 <no-reply at oxfordabstracts.com<mailto:no-reply at oxfordabstracts.com>>) for provisional acceptance of their abstracts (inclusion in the program is subject to payment of the conference registration fee by the presenter).
  *   By participating in SPNHC 2025, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct: https://spnhc2025.ku.edu/codeofconduct

Please send additional questions about abstracts to spnhc2025 at ku.edu<mailto:spnhc2025 at ku.edu>.
