CephsInAction & CIAC Meeting – Cephalopod Science from Biology to Welfare
Heraklion – Greece; March 28-31, 2017
The Annual Scientific Conference of COST Action FA1301 will merge CIAC (Cephalopod International Advisory Council) community with the aim of broaden the scientific outcomes, and increase the chances to develop an ‘integrated’ larger cephalopod science community.
The participation and contribution of the Young Cephalopod Researchers group will be facilitated, by ad hoc actions. Outreach activities will also be included in the main program.
“CephsInAction : what next?”
Galway – Ireland; September 13-15, 2017

Venue of this meeting will be the Lifecourse Institute in the campus of the National University of Ireland, Galway – Ireland (NUI Galway).
The agenda of this 2.5 days meeting will be announced soon. This event is aimed at enhancing networking initiatives and explore future scientific outcomes, thus to further contribute to the development on an integrated larger cephalopod science community. Scope of this meeting will be to summarize the results and achievements of this FA1301 COST Action, to increase and further facilitate collaborative work and networking among all participants, to identify and possibly plan future research priorities by preparation of a whitepaper.
We aim to facilitate the contribution and future commitment of young-early career researchers.
