From 17 till 21 September 2018, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and LifeWatch Belgium will be organizing the 53rd edition of the European Marine Biology Symposium (EMBS53) in Ostend, Belgium.
It will be a special edition since the world’s first ever marine station was inaugurated 175 years ago, in Ostend. Therefore, next to the general session, attention will be given to ‘Marine Biology research from a Historical Perspective’, ‘Science in a Modern Era’, ‘Marine and Coastal Citizen Science’ and ‘Science in the North Sea’.
At present, a program of renowned international speakers is being developed with further announcements made in due course. Registration and abstract submission is now open and participation from European as well as non-European countries is warmly welcomed.
