The local Organizing Committee of EMBS 2007 cordially invites you to the 42nd European Marine Biology Symposium to be held at Kiel, Germany from 27 to 31 August 2007. Kiel is a medium sized (ca. 250 000 inhabitants) university- and harbour town at the Western Baltic coast.

IFM-Building, which became the West Shore Campus of IFM-GEOMAR
|
Being the hometown of the Leibniz-Institute of Marine Sciences (IFM-GEOMAR), Kiel is one of the premier sites of German and international marine sciences. The IFM-GEOMAR was recently established through a merger of the geologically oriented GEOMAR and the Institute of Marine Sciences (Institut für Meereskunde; IFM) which had been founded by the eminent marine biologist Adolf Remane almost 70 years ago, who had also been the discoverer of the interstitial meiofauna.

But marine biology has a much longer tradition and Kiel has been the working place of two of the founding fathers of marine ecology, Karl August Möbius (1825-1908) and Victor Hensen (1835-1924), the former focussing on benthos and the latter on plankton. Both have founded influential schools of tradition. Möbius coined the term "synecology", which today most would call "community ecology". Hensen coined the term "plankton" and established the biogeochemically oriented research tradition in biological oceanography. There is still some degree of separation between both lines of tradition, in spite of the fact that both perspectives describe only different sides of the same medal. Nevertheless, both the Möbius- and the Hensen-perspective share one common feature, the view beyond the individual species, the orientation towards system structure and functioning. As a tribute to their tradition(s) we have chosen the conference topics for the 42nd EMBS as:
