European Society of Microalgal Biotechnology SYMPOSIUM on MICROALGAE AND SEAWEED PRODUCTS IN PLANT/SOIL-SYSTEMS

20-22 June 2001 at Mosonmagyaróvár, Hungary. This was a discussion among scientists from different countries coming from Eastern and Western Europe as well as from other continents in the field of potential and practical use of algae for plant and/or soil treatment. Presentations were made concerning cyanobacteria, microalgae and seaweed, which are or can potentially be used in plant production, and their influence on plant/soil-systems.

Symposium on Harmful Marine Algae in the U.S., December 5-9, 2000 at Woods Hole, Massachusetts
Sponsored by: the U.S. National Office for Marine Biotoxins and Harmful Algae (along with several other blue-ribbon institutions) this was the first of a series of biannual meetings intended to provide a forum for scientific exchange and technical communication on all aspects of marine HAB research in the United States.

The First Mediterranean Symposium on Marine Vegetation
Organised by the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA). The main objective of the Symposium was to take stock of available knowledge on the Mediterranean marine vegetation. It also promoted contacts and exchanges between the Mediterranean Scientists who have among their fields of interest the study and/or the conservation of the Marine vegetation species.
