Sixth International Symposium on Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases (NCGG-6) – Extended deadline for abstracts

From November 2 to November 4, 2011, the Sixth International Symposium on science, implementation and policy aspects of non-CO2 greenhouse gases (NCGG-6) will be organized. NCGG-6 will be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and will address both the role of non-CO2 greenhouse gases and aerosol in human-induced climate forcing and options for reduction in industry and society. The symposium aims to cross any barriers between policy, industry and science that might exist. It also fosters the dialogue between scientists, engineers and officials in industry and government working in this field from different perspectives. This multidisciplinary approach is expected to yield realistic and achievable mitigation solutions that might significantly lower NCGG emissions.

Extended deadline for abstracts
We received many abstracts already. But we also noted that many potential contributors had difficulties sending in their abstracts in time. We therefore extend the deadline for submitting abstracts to 31 March 2011.

Reduced fees for MSc and PhD students
We particularly welcome presentations by MSc and PhD students this year. PhD students pay a reduced fee to participate (50%). For MSc students we have a limited number of waivers. We encourage MSc students to also send in their abstracts; excellent student papers will be considered for oral presentations.
