Subject: Call for contributions to participate in an International Conference on Climate Change in Paris: apply before 2 March 2015!

Dear all,
We are very pleased to announce that the Institute of Research for Development (IRD) offers funding for researchers (including PhDs and Post-Docs), to participate in the UNESCO international conference "Our Common Future under Climate Change<http://www.commonfuture-paris2015.org/>" in Paris, from 7 to 10 July 2015. As this conference will be the largest forum for the scientific community to come together ahead of the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21)<http://www.cop21.gouv.fr/fr>, this call is an outstanding opportunity for scientists to promote their work and scientific activities.
The IRD (French Institute of Research for Development) will manage numerous Parallel Sessions during the conference (please refer to the thematic areas below), and invites researchers from Southern Africa to offer their contribution through oral presentations or posters. The IRD will fund registration, accommodation and transport to France for the selected candidates from Southern Africa - the call is not only open to South African researchers, but extends in the Southern Africa region. Furthermore, the application process is very simple as it only implies writing a short abstract.
The deadline being 2 March 2015, please contact the IRD/CNRS joint office as soon as possible: jean.albergel at ird.fr<mailto:jean.albergel at ird.fr>, ludovic.mollier at ird.fr<mailto:ludovic.mollier at ird.fr>
