About SORTEE conferences

Our conferences are informative, fun and low-cost.

The conference is a forum to discuss and develop ideas, while also exploring current practices for advancing research in fields related to ecology and evolutionary biology. 

 
The conference will be a mix of 5 session types:

 

  • Unconferences: Facilitated discussions of ideas for how to make ecology, evolutionary biology, and related disciplines more open, reliable, and transparent. 

  • Hackathons: Group projects with well-defined goals (papers, techniques, software, protocols, organizations, etc.).

  • Workshops: Facilitators will teach tools to implement open, reliable, and transparent practices.

  • Plenaries: Two plenaries about recent initiatives in open science.

  • Introductions to open science: Two sessions dedicated to people new to open science.
