50th European Marine Biology Symposium, Biologishe Anstalt Helgoland, Germany, 21 - 25 September 2015.

The conference will be held from September 21st to September 25th 2015. Abstract submission will start in February 2015.

Registration and abstract submission will start February 15th. (The registration website uses CONFTOOL, conference management software). Please note: You can only submit an abstract after you registered and the registration process is not complete until the conference dues have been paid, by April 30th at the latest so that your contribution can be accepted for the programme
