Dear Policies and Environment SIG members,
We are delighted to be joining you at the ISBNPA conference in Arizona. After a long ‘online’ presence, it is great to have the opportunity to meet many colleagues we have known, but not seen for a long time and indeed meet new people, see new faces and make new connections. Well done ASU and ISBNPA on getting this hybrid event up and running.
To this end, we would strongly encourage you to join us at the SIG meeting, which takes place on Friday May 20th, 12:05-13:20, Room 156. Other SIG events include the pre-congress workshop (details below). There are also many interesting presentations in the programme dealing with topics of interest to both the environment and policy context. Congratulations to those presenters who have been shortlisted for the ISBNPA awards, best of luck in your presentations.
In this newsletter we showcase a collaboration corner, we feature some interesting papers and present the shortlisted candidates for oral and poster presentations at ISBNPA 2022. Finally, this is a call to action, we are seeking members to join our Policies and Environment SIG leadership team, if you are interested in any of the many roles available, please contact Janas or I and let us know.
Have a wonderful conference,
See you in Arizona,
