Welcome

Dear Colleagues,
Please bookmark us, and join us in Queenstown, New Zealand for the XV International Conference on Environmental Ergonomics (ICEE 2013).

When?
11-15th February, 2013 (Reception evening of 10th)

Where?
The Rydges Hotel, Queenstown

What is ICEE?
The ICEE series started in 1984, and continues as a biennial meeting of Environmental Physiology and Ergonomics researchers and some research-oriented practitioners. These are small (100-250 people), single session, multi-disciplinary meetings, which support student participation and foster camaraderie and collaboration among scientists across the planet. Keynote and Original Research Oral and Poster Communications focus on:

• New research findings on humans’ acute and chronic exposure to environmental stressors; from high altitude to diving, the tropics to the poles, extreme gravitational loading to space and bed rest.
• Implications of and for sporting, recreational and occupational pursuits;
• Implications of and for protective clothing, modelling, novel methodologies, design and teaching.

Special symposia in 2013:

• Climatic Instability: Adaptation and/or avoidance;
• Ultra-endurance and Tracking;
• Hydration;
• Novel stress conditioning in performance and disease.

Other features of the meeting

• Students who deliver an oral presentation may be granted FREE registration, continuing an initiative launched through the generosity of W.L. Gore & Associates at the Piran meeting in Slovenia in 2007.
• Emeritus members of the society will be granted FREE registration.
• Retired membersactively participating in the meeting will be granted heavily reduced registration.
• Programme structured to encourage collegial communication and opportunity to experience New Zealand’s attractions and culture.
• Proposals for other special symposia are welcomed (due by 2nd July 2012)
• The organising committee are endeavouring to secure a special issue of an appropriate journal to publish selected papers from the meeting.
• We anticipate holding a FREE, 2-day, pre-conference satellite meeting on self- versus imposed-control of exposure to extreme environments.

Proposals for other special symposia are welcomed (due by 2nd July 2012)
