I hope to see you there. The Forum was organized by Asian phycologists at a series of meetings in Korea and Japan between 1989 and 1993. In 1993, the participants agreed to establish The Asian-Pacific Phycological Association as the organizing body of The Asian Pacific Phycological Forum. September 2-8, 1996. In accordance with the decision of the general meeting at the previous Italy Symposium, the Japanese Society of Diatomology and the International Society for Diatom Research cordially invite you to attend the Symposium.
Papers concerning all aspects of diatom research are welcome for both oral and poster presentations.
Rather than a few large formal workshops, we would prefer numerous smaller informal discussions.
