CALL FOR REGISTRATIONS AND PAPERS
This informal, annual meeting is designed to bring together people starting their
research on molluscs, to give them the opportunity to present and discuss their
work and to compare notes on methods and problems.
Attendance is open to all, but speakers and poster presenters should be
research students, post-doctoral researchers, undergraduates starting
molluscan projects or dissertations, and amateurs engaged in substantial
projects, which have not yet been published. Any topic related to molluscs is
acceptable: palaeontological, physiological, behavioural, ecological, systematic,
morphological or molecular.
Short talks ( 15 mins ) or posters may be offered. They need not be polished
accounts of completed work: descriptions of new methods, work in progress,
appeals for assistance with unsolved problems are equally acceptable.
Powerpoint presentations are the usual form, but should be discussed in
advance (see registration form overleaf).
In addition to talks and posters there will be opportunities to acquire reprints
contributed by members of the Society. The forum will end with a wine reception.
There is no registration fee; a limited amount of help with travel costs will be
available for presenters who cannot claim them from elsewhere.
