Yet, researchers and developers in the field very rarely get the opportunity to actually test their methodologies in parallel to other assays, using identical samples and test conditions. In 2002, the IUI will serve as the local academic sponsor for a major international scientific conference to be held at Eilat, on the biology of coelenterates and coral reefs. This conference will bring together researchers on a wide range of topics from molecular to ecological aspects of coelenterate biology, as well as the geology and ecosystem modeling of coral reefs.
Early registration is recommended.
