Don't lose your opportunity to gain experience in front of an international audience to share your research. Submit your 15-minute scientific paper presentation, poster presentation, or enter the Student Competition with a 15-minute paper (oral) presentation or poster presentation. There is a limit of either one talk or one poster per individual. Don't delay - submit today! 25 Late-breaking Symposia Submitted to Boost ICE Program Look for announcements to come soon on the acceptance of late-breaking symposia. These new topics will be integrated with previously announced symposia to make the total number of symposia presented well over 300. The program will highlight the most recent advances in a wide diversity of entomological subjects around the global theme during the six-day Congress.

Organizing Committee Co-Chairs [2leal.jpg] [1simmons.jpg] Dr. Walter S. Leal Dr. Alvin M. Simmons Call for Global Linnaean Game Teams Encourage students you know to assemble a team and play in this exciting question-and-answer, college bowl-style competition on entomological facts played between university-sponsored student teams. Each team is composed of four players. The teams score points by answering questions correctly. Learn more about the games and submit a team here. Student Debate Teams Announced The ICE Student Affairs Committee Debates Subcommittee is pleased to announce the following teams and topics for the Student Debate Competition: Topic 1: What would be the single best policy for improving health of Apis mellifera if adopted worldwide? Mid-Grass Prairie Regional Team vs. University of Delaware Topic 2: What is the single best strategy for decreasing dengue fever virus (breakbone fever) incidence worldwide? North Carolina State University vs. Purdue University Topic 3: Scenario: You are presenting a grant to an international agency to support control measures for an invasive insect species. Pick a species and explain to this agency why this is the most important issue they should be focusing on. The other debate team is competing for the same funding, but for a different invasive species. International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) vs. Auburn University Learn more about the debates. Exhibit at ICE 2016 - Discounted Rates Expire 1 February ICE 2016 is expected to be the largest gathering of insect scientists in history, with an expected attendance of more than 6,000 delegates. Don't miss your chance to exhibit your company's products to this international audience! Reserve your booth by 1 February and save $300. Details here. Call for ICE 2020 and ICE 2024 Host Bids Entomological societies around the globe should consider bidding to host a future Congress. Congresses are held every four years. During each Congress, members of the ICE Council, representing different countries of the world, consider all bids submitted and vote to select the location of the following Congress. Each Congress is run by a Local Organizing Committee nominated by the host entomological society. View the history and a listing of previous ICE locations. Although there is no strict rotation of regions, the intention is to give as many entomologists as possible in different regions, the opportunity to attend an ICE; gaps may often be 30 years or more between congresses in a region. For information, contact Dr J. Ridsdill-Smith, Secretary General of Council, International Congresses of Entomology, at james.ridsdill-smith at csiro.au Congratulations to ESA STEP Travel Award Winners Twenty-seven international ESA student and early professional members have won travel awards to ICE 2016. ESA's Student and Early Professionals (STEP) Committee will distribute a total of $50,000 for these travel awards. See the list of winners and their countries online.
