With 10 presentations from a wide variety of malacological fields, we had a diverse program. As a culinary surprise, tastings of the Common Garden Snail (Cornu aspersum) from a Viennese garden were offered after the award ceremony.

    A big thank you goes to the staff of the Water Cluster, and to all the speakers and organizers who contributed to the success of this small but nice conference. All participants including the children enjoyed the excursion, especially the boat trip!
