Symposium on Integrative Conservation (SIC)
The Organized ICON Network & Cooperative (OINC) is ICON's student organization. In alternating years, OINC coordinates a student-run Symposium on Integrative Conservation (SIC). The main objective of SIC is to cultivate interactions between cohorts of ICON students from multiple departments across the UGA campus and to promote continued dialogue and engagement throughout their tenure in the program. A second objective of SIC is to facilitate interactions with the broader academic community at UGA.
The ICON program trains scholars capable of engaging with a diversity of people working both in research and practice on the most pressing social and environmental challenges. To effectively do this, it is necessary to engage with insights, perspectives, and methodologies of multiple disciplines. SIC is intended to enhance these aspects of the ICON Ph.D. Program by providing a space for the exchange of ideas between students and faculty interested in integrative research and practice.
SIC is held in the early part of the Spring Semester in alternating years. During Non-SIC years, the Center for Integrative Conservation (CICR) and ICON co-host the Integrative Conservation Conference (ICC).
