Annual Science Meeting (ASM) 1 - 3 June 2009

Introduction

Applications are invited from those with interests in the Oceans 2025 programme to attend this year's ASM. For most participants, the ASM will begin with lunch on Monday 1 June and end with lunch on Wednesday 3 June. The ASM will, however, be preceded and followed by meetings of the Oceans 2025 Programme Advisory Board and Executive Board.

In the event that applications exceed available places, acceptance will be based on strength of involvement in the programme, date of registration, and balance of project and institutional representation. A reserve list will be drawn and applicants notified accordingly.

Full details of the event are provided in the meeting agenda.

Please note that the programme details are still under development; please contact Dr Phil Williamson (details below) with queries.
