WELCOME

Portugal will be the next hosting country for the International Colloquium on Amphipoda (ICA). The 16th ICA will be held at the University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal, from 7 to 11th September 2015. 

With more than 40 years of tradition, the International Colloquium on Amphipoda consists on the most relevant meeting point for several generations of amphipodologists, and an exciting forum for scientific exchange among researchers interested in all aspects of amphipod biology and ecology, where students find a unique environment to meet and connect with senior researchers.

Following a trend for increasing numbers of participants numbers over the last editions, we welcome all researchers interested in amphipod biology across the world to engage and participate in this exciting meeting.

We look forward to meet you in the 16th ICA!
