DATES TO REMEMBER
GAF9 encourages the submission of abstracts for oral and poster presentations under the following sub themes: Women/gender in the blue economy Gender and climate change: Navigating the impacts on fisheries and aquaculture Nature-based solutions in aquaculture and fisheries Innovative frameworks/methodology for gender research in fisheries and aquaculture Counting and discounting: men’s and women’s work in fisheries and aquaculture All abstracts must be in English - the official language of the conference. Oral presenters will be given 15 minutes each to present the paper. This is to adhere to the conference timetable and in fairness to other presenters. Not all abstracts submitted for oral presentation may be slotted for the same, due to limited number of available time slots. The decision of the program committee is final. Poster presentations will be an integral part of the conference program. All poster presenters will be given a chance to make an oral speed presentation (time and number of slides will be intimated closer to the conference date). Oral presenters must only use Power Point.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
