11th International Symposium on Tardigrada: News!



We have new information about the 11th International Symposium on Tardigrada.

For the third time the Symposium will take place in Germany - for good reasons: 80 years ago the German zoologist Ernst Marcus (1893-1968) discovered and described the Heterotardigrada.

The 11. International Tardigrade-Symposium 2009 will reflect the state of art in the challenge of tardigrade biology from taxonomy to biotechnology. This international symposium will not only act as a stage for this very essential meeting, but also as a place where scholars, researchers, and specialists can mutually be in the presence of each other to discuss future research directions and technological advancements. It will also be a great opportunity for everyone attending to increase their network of people. The colleagues, working with Onychophorans are cordially invited to join the Symposium.

Abstracts must be submitted electronically by June 1st, 2009. All presenters of accepted abstracts are expected to attend the symposium and pay the registration fee. The pre-registration fee is available until April 1st, 2009. Abstracts must be submitted in English and full instructions on how to submit your abstract are available on the symposium website here.
