XIV International Ornithological Conference of North Eurasia
2nd Information Letter



Dear colleagues!

Conference Committee acknowledges that XIV International Ornithological
Conference of North Eurasia will take place on 18-24 August 2015 in Almaty
(Kazakhstan), hosted by Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
During the Conference it is supposed to listen and discuss
presentations on all range of topical questions of fundamental and
practical ornithology, to summarize the results and outline perspectives
for the ornithological surveys within the North Eurasian region, as well as
issues of preparation and publishing of faunistic reviews in the region's
countries, popularization of ornithology and further development of its
practical aspects, including conservation and sustainable use of birds,
educational aspects and history of studying birds within the vast territory
of North Eurasia.
By the beginning of the conference it is planned to publish abstracts
of sectional presentations and full texts of plenary reports.
Conference languages: Kazakh, Russian and English.
Important dates:
Due to the fact that the date for delivering proposals on plenary
reports, symposia and round tables announced in the First Information
Letter has already passed, but the field season and vacation time didn't
finish yet, Conference Committee took a decision to elongate the deadline
for accepting these proposals up to 1 October 2014. Conference Committee
asks to state the title of the proposed symposium or round table most
distinctly, as well as indicate the names of conveners.
Registration forms and abstracts with the proposed status of the
presentation (sectional presentation or poster) are still welcomed up to 1
December 2014. Contributors of plenary reports, who won't have received a
notification from the Program Committee on refusal or changing of the
presentation status (to sectional presentation or poster) up to 1 November
2014, should prepare the full text of the presentation with illustrations
(black-and-white) up to 1 quire and submit it up to 31 January 2014. It is
recommended to include into the concluding part of the presentation
recommendations on implementation of certain research projects,
conservational and other practical actions for the upcoming 4-5 years
concerning the problems discussed in the presentation.
Proposals, registration forms and materials should be sent as inclosed
files to the Conference Secretariat:
menzbier-birds@mail.ru (Conference Secretariat - Anna Belousova),
m.chirikova@mail.ru (Conference Secretariat - Marina Chirikova).

Registration fee: To be paid on arrival as specified in the First
Information Letter (25 euro = 1000 RUB = 5000 tenge; students pay a 50%
fee). In case of alteration of exchange rate relations, the fee amount will
be updated in further Information Letters.
Abstracts should be submitted only by e-mail. Each participant can
submit not more than three abstracts: one abstract, where he is the only
author, and not more than two abstracts as a co-author. Program Committee
makes a decision on including the contributed abstracts into the program of
the conference and edits a book of abstracts. In case of refusal of the
contributed abstracts, Program Committee informs the chief author on the
fact individually.
Abstracts submitting guidelines: Abstracts should be sent as inclosed
files named in Cyrillic (л?Љ‚ҐЄЁ) or Latin alphabet (лAbstractsЁ) adding
