The Swedish Society for Marine Sciences welcomes everyone who is engaged and interested in marine sciences, management and environmental monitoring to this conference on the SEA!
The theme of the 2023 conference is “Grand Challenges in Marine Sciences for Sustainable Development in the UN Decade of the Oceans”. The conference is co-organized by SHF, Umeå University, Umeå Marine Sciences Centre (UMF), and the strategic research program EcoChange.
In addition to oral presentations and a poster session, there will be room for networking. The annual meeting of the Society is held on November 22 as part of the Marine Research Days.
Abstract submissions for oral or poster presentations are highly recommended and encouraged. Submission is managed through the registration portal. Submitted contributions will be organized within sessions based on the conference program, or standalone if the content is considered outside the scope of the sessions provided.
Final program for the conference, additional meeting information and confirmation of participation will be sent out prior to the conference. Depending on the number of registrations, the Board may need to prioritize and limit the requests for participation on site. Applications and requests from second (MSc) and third (PhD) cycle students, as well as from early career scientists (post docs), will be given priority.
Please register for the conference no later than Monday October 30.
