Society Mollusc Research Austria
2nd Meeting
23. – 24. September 2021, online

Welcome!

Dear Colleagues, we heartily invite you to the 2nd Meeting of the Society Mollusc Research Austria (MoFA) which will be held on 23. September 2021 at the Natural History Museum Vienna.

The scientific meeting will be held physically as well as online, which means that a participation including presentations will be possible via Zoom.

Contributions can be submitted still until 5. September.

Besides the scientific program on 23. September, we plan a field excursion on 24. September – if weather allows – to the Schneeberg, where we may find Cylindrus obtusus, Clausiliid populations, and other gastropods of the alpine zone.

We hope to attract scientists at all stages of their scientific career to promote their networking. Contributions from all fields of malacology are welcome!

As with our first meeting, we announce that the MoFA Junior Award will be awarded for the participants in early career stage: For MSc as well as PhD studies two awards each will be given (each 300 € / 200 € for talk (15 min)/ short presentation (5 min)).

Please spread this information among colleagues.

Conference language is English.

Please register and submit your contributions soon to allow proper planning; at the latest 15. September 2021.

We are looking forward to meeting you in September!
