SIXTH SYMPOSIUM ON ENCHYTRAEIDAE
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
The next meeting on enchytraeid biology will be held at Osnabrueck,
Germany, during the 3rd and 4th July 1998. You are invited to present a
paper on your research in either oral or poster format, or attend and
contribute to discussions and workshops. The Enchytraeidae Symposium is
held every two years. The major focus is by tradition on taxonomy,
ecology, physiology and ecotoxicology of terrestrial species. However,
contributions on marine or freshwater enchytraeids, or on any other topic
concerning Enchytraeidae, are also welcome! Please share this invitation
with your colleagues.
The meeting will be held at ,Haus Ohrbeck", a conference house run by the
Order of St. Francis. ,Haus Ohrbeck" is situated 7 km outside Osnabrueck
on the outskirts of the small town Holzhausen, in a calm and beautiful
landscape. Accomodation, meals and scientific sessions will be held in the
same building. The accomodation is high standard, with usually two people
sharing a room. A small number of single person rooms is available at a
slightly higher price. Tentative prices will be 75 DM per day for food and
dormitory accomodation, which is $ 45 in US currency at the moment.
Reductions for students is possible. There is no registration fee.
Oral presentations will be given on the first day. Conference languages
are English and German. Don't be afraid if your skills in German don't go
beyond ,Guten Tag" and ,Oktoberfest"! Most of the talk is usually in
English. The poster session and a taxonomic workshop will be held on the
second day. You are invited to present new species or just to take along
all the weird and unidentifiable specimens you found in your surveys.
There is also room for additional workshops on other topics. If you have
suggestions, please communicate them to us.
Papers on oral and poster contributions will be published in the
,Newsletter on Enchytraeidae", which is not among the rank A international
journals, but which serves as a useful forum for anybody who wants to know
what's going on in enchytraeidology.
Please return your tentative registration form BEFORE 1 November 1997. If
you wish to make an oral or a poster presentation please indicate which on
the attached form. In order to keep the mailing cost as low as possible,
only tentatively registered colleagues will be sent the Second
Announcement.
