General information

Meiofauna is one of the fundamental components of benthic communities and is characterized by high abundance and diversity, fast turnover rates and occupies a key position in the food web. Meiofauna contains most known animal phyla and is certainly the most abundant and diversified group in the world.
 
MeioScool's objective is to bring together several meiofaunal experts in Brest in order to:

1) Increase awareness of researchers, students and general public to the fundamental role of meiofauna in marine ecosystems from the coastal zone to abyssal depths.

2) Train students and researchers to the identification and description of meiofauna through several complementary disciplines (taxonomy, ecology, molecular biology) and stimulate a new generation of meiobenthologists.
 
The MeioScool summer school will last 5 days with conferences and sessions devoted to field and laboratory work (sampling, extraction, identification of major meiofaunal taxonomic groups, molecular biology, etc..).

This is a great pleasure for us inviting you to the MeioScool Summer School, the organizing committee will prepare a enjoyable meeting, full of surprises. We hope to see you all in Brest in June 2016.
