Conference Information

Why now?

In the last 100 years research in cephalopod biology, particularly octopus, squid and cuttlefish has made major contributions to several areas of science and neuroscience in particular. Cephalopod biology research is very active in a number of European and Mediterranean countries with topics include for example construction of a “robot octopus”, vision and behaviour in cuttlefish, cephalopod genome, nociception in octopus, 3D mapping of the octopus brain, neurosteroids and tracking cephalopod behaviour using telemetry.

This workshop will critically review current cephalopod research from a European perspective and specifically examine the potential of cephalopods as “model animals” to address a range of research questions from molecular neuroscience to ecology.

The Comitato Studi Euroceph will be updating their website (www.cephres.org) with a membership section (http://www.cephres.org/membership), publications, projects (http://www.cephres.org/projects) and current news on the regulation.

The URL has been changed to www.cephres.org.

Essential for those who study cephalopods in the EU - but also for everyone else that may work under similar regulations (http://www.cephres.org/eu-directive) in the future.

Do you have the program from Euroceph 2011? I want to get the contact information for one of the poster presenters.

Erin,

I do have the the printed version of the program but it contains the institutions of the authors only- no emails.

In any case, you can see the presenters for the first (http://www.cephres.org/system/files/docs/EuroCeph2011PosterSession1.pdf) and second (http://www.cephres.org/system/files/docs/EuroCeph2011PosterSession2.pdf) poster sessions. You can find links to their institutions under the Community (http://www.cephres.org/community) section. Searching for the name in the institution's page should bring up relevant contact info.

ooo that got me to the the info I wanted, thank you. I saw a poster titled "Haemocytes characterization in Sepia officinalis" and want to get in touch with the presenter.
