The 2013 “World Congress of Malacology” organised by UNITAS MALACOLOGICA (UM) will take place on the main campus of the University of the Azores, at Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, from the 21st till the 28th of July 2013. It is the 18th International Congress of UM.
The congress will also facilitate activities of its affiliated societies, under the coordination of UM; the American Malacological Society (AMS), The Malacological Society of London (MSL) and the Sociedad Española de Malacología (SEM) have already expressed interest in this association.
The congress is open to all contributions in the field of malacology and will host symposia as well as contributed papers and posters. Participants are welcome to propose to organize symposia on themes of their election. A total of about 12 symposia appears to be a suitable number for a congress; so, please, hurry to secure a place of your own in that most coveted category!
Further details are available from the official circular.
