Dear Colleague, It is our pleasure to announce that the 8th International Conference on Coelenterate Biology (ICCB) will be held in Eilat, Israel, from December 1st-6th, 2013. The conference will encompass aspects of the biology of all cnidarian groups and ctenophores, including those occurring in pelagic and benthic environments, shallow to deep sea, and freshwater habitats in all regions. Sessions will be devoted to topics ranging from cellular biology, genomics and development, to life histories and reproduction, physiology, pathology, symbiosis and diseases, evolution, biogeography and taxonomy, ecology, and behavior, as well as environmental impacts including global change, toxicity and medical applications. Current and possible future developments in the field will be explored. Our goal is to advance the knowledge on cnidarians, exchange novel findings among peers and students and establish new collaborations. We are confident that this conference will prove highly attractive, and that Eilat, the meeting's locality, with its splendid reefs and renowned sunny weather, will provide a perfect ambience. We look forward to welcoming you in Eilat, Israel, in December 2013. ... [Information of the supplier]
Constant changes in climate, consumer demand, economy, regulations, technology, as well as invasions of new pest species, continuously challenge researchers, extension officers, growers and the agro-businesses. These and other topics will be discussed at the meeting. The venue of the meeting, the program structure and the collegial atmosphere are designed to encourage informal interactions, explore common interests and possible collaborations, and facilitate learning and information sharing. Visits to Israeli protected crop operations will provide unique opportunities to explore new technologies and approaches, share knowhow, and interact with growers and extension officers. ...
