Dear colleagues, dear friends!

We cordially invite you to the 4th Central European Symposium for Aquatic Macroinvertebrate Research (CESAMIR), which will be held in Stará Lesná, Slovakia, on July 7-12, 2024. The symposium is organized by the Plant Science & Biodiversity Center, Slovak Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with the Slovak Limnological Society and the initiative AquaBOL.SK.

The next CESAMIR aims again to integrate recent achievements of all branches of aquatic macroinvertebrate science, from basic to applied research, including but not limited to taxonomy, biodiversity and faunistics, community and functional ecology, population biology, human impact, water pollution and ecotoxicology, water quality monitoring and metrics, from microhabitat modification to global changes, with a focus on the latest developments and trends, as well as future outlook.

Although, the symposium mainly focuses on the Central European research and problems, participants from outside this area are heartily welcome too. The organizers are gearing up for an exciting and informative conference program including plenary lectures, oral and poster presentations and various social events for up to ± 200 participants.

We invite you to join us at the 4th CESAMIR, where you will be sure to have a meaningful experience and fruitful conversations with scholars and aquatic macroinvertebrate experts from all around Central Europe and beyond. All members of the CESAMIR Organizing committee look forward to meeting you in Stará Lesná, Slovakia.

The registration for the conference is now open, as well as a possibility to suggest Workshops and/or Special Sessions.
