At this page, conferences of interest to the ESMB are being listed with links to the specific conference site for further information. Conferences hosted by ESMB will be given priority, but other relevant conferences may also be listed. If you have a conference that you think may be of interest to ESMB, please fill in the request for announcement in the area below. We reserve the right to decide which conferences will be listed.

ESMB is open for arranging conferences and workshops jointly with other marine biotechnology organisations, projects or other stakeholders, or ESMB may want to arrange an event back to back with other conferences. If you are planning on arranging an event where such an arrangement could be to the benefit of your own event and for ESMB, please send further information to the ESMB Secretary in the area provided under the ‘Contact’ tab on this site. Please allow sufficient time for planning, as any decision on joint actions will have to be decided by the ESMB Board.
