Ecological Dissertations in the Aquatic Sciences (Eco-DÂS) continues the series of symposia established through the DIALOG (Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Limnology and Oceanography) program, but takes that series in new directions. Key elements of Eco-DÂS include:1) Fostering sustained, cross-disciplinary interactions among the top new researchers in ecological oceanography and limnology.2) Increasing the success rate of new researchers seeking funding to build their research programs, by familiarizing them with the diversity of available research opportunities, and introducing them to representatives of funding agencies with whom they will interact in future.3) Increasing the likelihood of professional success for these new researchers by highlighting their initial work through high-visibility, open-access publication of a formal symposium proceedings volume; focusing that volume on interdisciplinary and collaborative aspects of their work; and establishing mentoring relationships between participants and established scientists.4) Enhancing U.S. science through preferential selection of participants who are current U.S. residents, or demonstrably have specific plans to conduct research in the U.S. or with U.S. scientists in the near future.There will be three symposia at roughly 24 month intervals, the first - Eco-DÂS VIII to be held in October 2008. The following two will be held in fall 2010 and fall 2012. The Eco-DÂS symposium series will be held at the East-West Center immediately adjacent to the University of Hawai`i, Mânoa campus. The East-West Center conference facility is physically designed to facilitate workshops and conferences in which communication and interaction are particularly important. It is conveniently located near the internationally recognized School of Earth and Ocean Science and Technology (SOEST). Two other symposium series, the Dissertations Symposium on Chemical Oceanography (DISCO) and the Physical Oceanography Dissertation Symposium (PODS), have employed this venue with great success. The facility can easily accommodate symposium participants as well as mentors and observers, and provides for breakout rooms for focus groups.The broader impacts are significant and far reaching. The symposium series will encourage and foster interdisciplinary collaborations among early career scientists from diverse subdisciplines, to the benefit of both the science and the researchers. The symposium series will also provide valuable feedback to funding agencies. The symposium participants represent the latest additions to the national research effort and are likely to become leading scientists in future. They will be challenged to identify needs and recommend directions for future research in ecological oceanography and limnology. Furthermore, a professional evaluation will assess whether the symposium series has achieved its objectives. Evaluation will include tracking of participants throughout the course of the proposed program (and ideally, over a longer period), and evaluating their professional success, their interactions with other participants, and the impact of the symposium series on the fields of ecological oceanography and limnology.

水生科学生态论文 (Eco-DÂS) 延续了通过 DIALOG（湖沼学和海洋学进步论文倡议）计划建立的系列研讨会，但将该系列带到了新的方向。 Eco-DâS 的关键要素包括：1) 促进生态海洋学和湖沼学领域的顶尖新研究人员之间持续的、跨学科的互动。2) 通过让新研究人员熟悉现有研究机会的多样性，并将他们介绍给未来将与之互动的资助机构代表，提高寻求资金建设其研究项目的新研究人员的成功率。3) 通过以下方式提高这些新研究人员取得职业成功的可能性： 通过高知名度、开放获取的正式研讨会论文集出版来强调他们的初步工作；该卷重点关注其工作的跨学科和协作方面； 4) 通过优先选择当前美国居民或明显有具体计划在美国或与美国科学家在不久的将来进行研究的参与者来加强美国科学。大约每隔 24 个月将举办三场研讨会，第一场 - Eco-DÂS VIII 将于 2008 年 10 月举行。接下来的两场研讨会将于 2010 年秋季和秋季举行2012. Eco-DÂS 研讨会系列 将在紧邻夏威夷大学马诺阿校区的东西方中心举行。东西中心会议设施的物理设计旨在促进交流和互动尤为重要的研讨会和会议。它位置便利，靠近国际公认的地球与海洋科学与技术学院（SOEST）。另外两个研讨会系列，化学海洋学论文研讨会 (DISCO) 和物理海洋学论文研讨会 (PODS)，也曾在此举办，取得了巨大成功。该设施可以轻松容纳研讨会参与者以及导师和观察员，并为焦点小组提供分组讨论室。更广泛的影响是重大而深远的。 该研讨会系列将鼓励和促进来自不同分支学科的早期职业科学家之间的跨学科合作，以造福科学和研究人员。系列研讨会还将向资助机构提供宝贵的反馈。研讨会的参与者代表了国家研究工作的最新成果，并且很可能成为未来的领先科学家。他们将面临的挑战是确定生态海洋学和湖沼学未来研究的需求并推荐方向。此外，专业评估将评估该系列研讨会是否达到了其目标。评估将包括在整个拟议项目过程中（最好是在更长的时间内）跟踪参与者，并评估他们的专业成功、他们与其他参与者的互动以及研讨会系列对生态海洋学和湖沼学领域的影响。
