What is MIAMI Consortium Meeting
The MIAMI consortium meeting is an open meeting for all scientists who are interested in developing a scientifically-based strategy to manage invasive/urban ants, especially those who is seeking a multi-institutional collaboration. Decision-makers and relevant government officials are equally welcome as one major goal of the MIAMI project is to translate the research outcome into a practical management policy, product or governmental service available to or ready for the public.
The capacity of venue is somehow limited (45 people at max) and thus registration is on a first come, first served basis. Prospective participants to the MIAMI project consortium meeting are kindly informed to register through the online registration system as early as possible.
Project description
MIAMI refers to Multi-Institutional Invasive Ant Management Intervention and was initiated by Dr. Chin-Cheng Scotty Yang @ Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere, Kyoto University under support by the KURCA (Kyoto University Research Coordination Alliance) program. The mission of the MIAMI consortium is to serve as an international collaborative platform for scientists who are keen to conduct ant studies that require cross-institution research alliance. Those research topics with applied value and potential to translate into management strategy are particularly desirable.
Theme
The theme for this year's meeting is
''Understanding your pest ant species: from theory to practice''.
