Welcome

To the 9th European Ostracodologists' Meeting

The European Ostracodologists’ Meetings (EOMs) have been held since 1989, serving not only as an international forum for bringing ostracod scientists together to exchange views and ideas, but also providing an opportunity to discuss collaborative research among peers and promoting ostracod research. The 9th European Ostracodologists’ Meeting (EOM9) will be held from 19 to 22 July 2019 in Gdansk, one of the most famous and beautiful city in Poland. EOM9 is organized by the Department of Genetics and Biosystematics, Faculty of Biology, University of Gdansk and will cover any aspects of science with Ostracoda. Our team is truly dedicated to the task of hosting all ostracodologists, including those not based in Europe, in the best possible manner. We look forward to meeting you at EOM9 and wish you a pleasant and fruitful stay in Gdansk.
