Report

9th European Ostracodologists’ Meeting (EOM9) was held from 19 to 22 July 2019 in Gdansk, Poland and was organized by the Department of Genetics and Biosystematics and the Biological Station of the University of Gdańsk.

EOM9 had broad delegate catchment, 67 delegates from 21 countries (including extra-European China, Japan and Thailand) presented in total 74 scientific contributions, including 3 keynote lectures, 38 oral and 34 poster presentations. The contributions covered any aspects of science with Ostracoda under the theme “Crossing boundaries in ostracod research” and dealt with topics from the Silurian assemblages in the ancient Baltic Palaeobasin to the molecular taxonomy of the extant non-marine ostracods.

In addition to plenary and poster sessions, two workshops and two excursions were offered. Finn Viehberg and Koen Martens proposed a workshop on African Ostracod Taxonomy whereas Mauro Alivernini and Peter Frenzel convened a Workshop on Ostracoda in Environmental Micropalaeontology. In mid-symposium excursion all delegates had a guided tour of historical Gdansk and finally went to the Biological Station of the University of Gdansk at the mouth of the Vistula River with brackish water habitats. The post symposium-trip comprised various coastal and inland landscapes and hydrobiological settings in the vicinity of Gdansk.
