International Congress of Vertebrate Morphology

脊椎动物形态学大会每三年举行一次，目的是让研究脊椎动物形态学和lau - lato的科学家们分享研究成果，学习技术，同时可能对他们自己的系统获得新的见解。通过将领导者、创新者和互补分支学科的学生聚集在一起，可能会出现新的综合和整合。由于来自许多不同国家的国会成员的参与，可以分享关于研究本身的观点，以及不同国家科学事业的行为方式，从而增加对全球事业的理解。第九届大会将首次在拉丁美洲举行，将促进该地区同事更多地参与，并有可能发展新的国际合作。大会将有知名研究人员和年轻学者参加。全体讲座和专题讨论会的结构是为了考虑到方法、技术和分类群的多样性和广泛范围。这将鼓励令人兴奋的讨论、合作和综合，以及以前分离的生物学和物理科学子领域的整合，就像在之前的“进化-devo”大会上发生的那样。此外，我们将为会员提供一个研讨会，向生物生物学家介绍三维x射线技术。因此，大会将具有独特的智力价值，为广泛的生物学家提供优秀的科学知识，并促进国际科学家之间的广泛讨论。关于大会和研究讨论的报告将发布在ISVM网站上，该网站将在大会结束后很长一段时间内保持，以便进行交流。更广泛的影响-除了上面概述的更广泛的影响(1)研究的整合和交流，(2)通过鼓励伙伴关系和合作加强研究基础设施，以及(3)研究的广泛传播，我们寻求扩大许多国家的同事的参与，他们在以前的大会上的参与受到限制。并鼓励来自美国的年轻学者的参与，以提高他们对国际科学的理解。我们特别鼓励年轻学者和女性的参与，同时欢迎来自国际和经验多样化的参与者群体，这将在不久的将来扩大美国的科学事业。

Congresses of Vertebrate Morphology are held every three years in order to allow scientists who work on the morphology, sensu lato, of vertebrates to share research and learn techniques, while perhaps gaining new insight into their own systems. By bringing together leaders and innovators and students of complimentary subdisciplines, new syntheses and integration are likely to occur. Because of the participation of members of the Congress from many different countries, perspectives about research itself, and the styles of conduct of the scientific enterprise in different countries can be shared, increasing understanding of the global enterprise. The 9th Congress will be held in Latin America for the first time, and will facilitate greater participation of colleagues from that part of the world, and new international collaborations may well develop.The Congress will involve established researchers as well as younger scholars. The plenary lectures and the symposia are structured so that a great diversity and broad scope of approaches, techniques, and taxa are considered. This will encourage exciting discussion, collaborations and syntheses, and integration of formerly separate subfields of biology and the physical sciences, as has occurred in previous such congresses with the initiation of 'evo-devo'. In addition we will provide to the membership a workshop that will introduce organismal biologists to 3-D x-ray techniques. Thus the Congress will have unique intellectual merit in providing excellent science to a wide range of biologists and facilitating extensive discussion among international scientists.Reports on the Congress and research discussions will be posted on the ISVM website, which will be maintained long after the Congress ends in order to allow communication.Broader impacts - In addition to the broader impacts outlined above relating to (1) integration and communication of research, (2) enhancement of research infrastructure through the encouragement of partnerships and collaborations, and (3) broad dissemination of research, we seek to broaden the participation colleagues from many countries whose participation has been limited at previous Congresses, and to encourage the involvement of young scholars from the US so that their understanding of international science is enhanced. We specifically encourage the participation of younger scholars, and of women, while welcoming an internationally and experientially diverse group of participants, which will expand the US science enterprise of the near future.
