The ILTER Coordinating Committee is holding a teleconference intended to bring the ILTER community together to help shape active ILTER sessions, workshops, and collaborative research activities for the upcoming ILTER Open Science Meeting (OSM) in Bariloche, Argentina, in March 2027.
All are welcome to contribute ideas and/or participate in the ILTER Spring 2026 Coordinating Committee teleconference, which will take place on Wednesday, April 29, from 12:00 to 14:00 UTC.
If you are interested in organizing or joining a session, workshop, or new ILTER collaborative research activity, the coordinating committee warmly encourages you to participate. Ideas from Early Career Researchers are especially welcome.
There are two ways to participate: share your topic with the International Management Office (Tiffany Troxler, troxlert@fiu.edu, or Dishane Hewavithana, dhewavit@fiu.edu) by April 16 so they can promote it across the network and dedicate a breakout discussion to it during the teleconference. You can also simply join the teleconference on April 29 to take part in the discussions and contribute to the development of a session.
