European Marine Biology Symposium.

January 2013

The 48th Annual European Marine Biology Symposium will be held this summer in the National University of Ireland, Galway from August 19th to 23rd.

The main aim of the conference is to bring together academic practitioners in marine biology for networking and the dissemination of basic research. It has always been an important venue for early stage researchers to communicate their work and meet with established workers from across Europe. The themes of the conference will reflect the main areas in which marine biology is developing at present, as well as traditional research categories, including:

1. Biodiversity and ecosystem function
2. Ocean acidification and biodiversity
3. Climate change
4. Evolution, systematics and developmental biology
5. Mapping habitats and determining ecological status
6. Sustainable management of the ocean
7. Biodiscovery and bioresources
