COST Action FA1301 Research Topic
“The Digestive Tract of Cephalopods: at the Interface Between Physiology and Ecology”
has been accepted by Frontiers in Physiology – Invertebrate Physiology, and is already online!
The 6th call for the current grant period (2016) of the COST Action FA1301
Short Term Scientific Missions is now launched
Deadline for applications is Wednesday 09 November, 2016
COST Action FA1301 will join Aquaculture Europe 2016 (Edinburgh, UK) organised by the European Aquaculture Society with the theme “Food for Thought”.
September 21, and September 23 and 24, 2016 are the dates of our “events” joining AE2016
This will facilitate networking with specialists and SME working on topics of relevance to rearing and aquaculture of cephalopods.
Aim of the meeting is to discuss approaches, strategies and possible collaborations for contributing to the solution of some bottlenecks that still appear to exists for the cephalopods culture.
More information will be posted here shortly!

WG4 is calling for your help and contribution to this important achievement!
One of the key expected deliverables of the COST Action FA1301 WG4 is the development of a Cephalopod Welfare Index database aimed to support the Cephalopod Welfare Index (CWI) Model: an operational, internet based decision support system based on a semantic model aimed for monitoring and assessing cephalopod welfare.
CephsInAction CWI Database is currently open for contributions!
We live on a beautiful planet, and it’s the only one we’ve got. Happy Earth Day!
An octopus, as representative of cephalopods and of the diversity and richness of the ocean and coral reef, is chosen as key ‘figure’ in one of the five illustrations by the Google Doodler Sophie Diao to celebrate 2016 edition of the Earth Day.
The COST Action FA1301 CBC Training Program is pleased to launch Expression of Interest for the Cephalopod Biology and Care FA1301 Training School on Anesthesia and Scientific Procedures (CBC-ASP2016).
This Training School is open to people who perform the four functions, as stated in article 23 of the Directive 2010/63/EU: carrying out procedures on animals; designing procedures and projects; taking care of animals; killing animals.
CephsInAction opens the 1st call for 2016 FA1301 Short Term Scientific Missions
These serve to support the exchange of researchers to establish new areas of scientific collaboration within the areas of activities of FA1301 COST Action.
Priority is given to Early Stage Researchers (pre- or post-doctoral researchers) that would like to visit Institutions of the participating FA1301 Countries.
COST is supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon2020
