The 14th International Conference on Copepoda, which was scheduled to be held in South Africa, was postponed to June 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as there is a risk that a sufficient number of participants cannot be expected at this time, the council is discussing another postponement to 2022.
Those who plan to attend are requested to wait until the last minute for registration, etc. We will notify you again as soon as it is decided.

Here is the first announcement regarding the 15th International Conference on Copepoda, to be held in Japan in 2024. We would like to inform you of the scheduled dates and venue. Further details will be announced via the mailing list as soon as they are finalized.
