Dear Colleague,
I am very happy to announce the first details of the Third International
Oligochaete Taxonomy Meeting (3rd IOTM). It is my pleasure to inform you that
the 3rd IOTM will be held in the Republic of Cyprus (abbreviated "Cyprus" in

Resources and Environment, Nicosia, Cyprus.
The 3rd IOTM will be held at the Hotel Pendeli in Platres from Monday, April
2 to Friday, April 6, 2007.
Registration will take place from the afternoon of April 1, 2007. The hotel is
able to provide excellent conference facilities as well as accommodation. The
conference fee, set between 300-350 Euro, includes the accommodation, the
conference itself, daily meals, mid-conference excursion, book of abstracts,
and proceedings. A post-conference earthworm collection trip is also planned
(costs separated). More detailed information regarding payment will follow in
the second circular.
Applicants should initially register their interest in attending the 3rd IOTM
by filling in and returning the application form they will find on the
http://3rdiotm.tomas-pavlicek-biologie.net web site of the 3rd IOTM by
September 30, 2006, preferably earlier. Applicants are then required to submit
an abstract of their proposed paper or panel by January 1, 2007. Further
information about the regulations concerning the submission of abstracts will
be published on the website of the 3rd IOTM. The website will be regularly
updated.
As the number of participants is limited to 40, selection will be carried out
by the organising and scientific committees based on the quality of the
abstracts received. In addition to the participants, a number of student
observers will be permitted to attend presentations.
We look forward to hearing from you.
