MARBENA Creating a long-term infrastructure for MARine Biodiversity research in the European economic area and the Newly Associated states

Genetic Biodiversity in Marine Ecosystems

The e-conference will inform the physical conference on “Genetic Biodiversity in Natural and Agricultural Ecosystems” being organized for 20-24 November 2003 and to be held in Florence. The Florence conference is being organized as an activity of the European Platform for Biodiversity Research Strategy (EPBRS: http://www.bioplatform.info) and under the Italian Presidency of the European Union.

The e-conference is scheduled around 3 topics. Chairpersons will introduce the topic and invite contributions from subscribers to the e-conference. The topics have three days each to run intensively but comments can still be contributed until the closure date of the conference. The format of messages should consist of: a) title of your contribution, b) name of the author c) text (messages of more than one page must be send to marbena@vliz.be, and our forum administrator will put them on the forum).

I wish you a vivid and interesting discussion,
dr Keith Hiscock, Marine Biological Association, UK
