The theme for this year’s event is “Life in a Changing Ocean”. We strongly encourage submissions that address the vulnerability and resilience of foraminifera and coccolithophores to environmental change, past and present, as well as the interaction between changing marine environments and evolutionary processes and patterns over long timescales.

As always we will place a high value on the contributions made by early career researchers. This year we include:

– Two extended afternoon poster sessions with refreshments (3.30pm – 6pm).
– Dedicated elevator pitch to the whole conference for all early career poster presentation (PhD / post-doc) – 1 slide, 2 minutes.
– Oral presentation sessions with a mix of career stages.
