The “World Congress of Malacology” is the emblematic event of UNITAS
MALACOLOGICA (UM) and we welcome you to be part of it. The 2013 congress will be held
on the main campus of the University of the Azores, at Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, from the
21st till the 28th of July 2013. It is the 18th International Congress of UM, the 6th after UM has
become a worldwide association. The congress will also facilitate activities of its affiliated
societies, under the coordination of UM; the American Malacological Society (AMS), The
Malacological Society of London (MSL) and the Sociedad Española de Malacología (SEM)
have already expressed interest in this association.
The congress is open to all contributions in the field of malacology and will host
symposia as well as contributed papers and posters.
Participants are welcome to propose to organize symposia on themes of their election.
A total of about 12 symposia appears to be a suitable number for a congress; so, please, hurry
to secure a place of your own in that most coveted category!
We further suggest that one aspect, inter alia, of the participation of affiliated societies
could be by assuming the responsibility of selected symposia. Below are suggestions of titles
and a challenge for volunteering organizers.

кто-нибудь уже пререгестрировался?

Я думаю, что сделаю это в ближайшее время. Хотя бы для того, чтобы быть подписанным на рассылку циркуляров.
