CONGRESSO BRASILEIRO SOBRE CRUSTÁCEOS (CBC) THE CRUSTACEAN SOCIETY (TCS) - SUMMER MEETING

Date:6-9 June 2022
Registration deadline:To be announced
Abstration deadline:31 March 2022
Location:Brazil (Virtual meeting)

We have been following the development of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide especially in Latin American countries as Brazil. Although the advance in vaccination has been observed, the rate is still slow. Unfortunately, along with the vaccination rate, the emergence of the new SARS-COV-II strains is compelling us to take hard decisions avoiding to put at risk the health of our associates and contributors. The Board of Directors of the Brazilian Carcinology Society (CBC) and the President of The Crustacean Society (TCS) have discussed alternatives to ensure the holding of the XI CBC.TCS, always prioritizing quality, viability, and safety. Together, instead of postponing the event we have decided that the next CBC.TCS meeting will be held online (totally virtual).Although the virtual mode restricts personal interactions, current sanitary conditions led us to choose this as the best alternative. We believe that the online meeting allows an adequate planning without putting the lives of the participants in jeopardy while maintaining the high standards shared by both scientific societies.The Congress will be held from June 6th to 9th, 2022. All speakers of the keynote lectures and for most of the approved symposia have already confirmed their presence.As the meeting will go online a considerable reduction of registration fees was provided in the following links (https://cbc-tcs.com/registration/). The new registration period starts on October, 1st 2021, and those already registered will be contacted to choose between: 1) to cancel the registration, refund the full registration fee, or 2) to remain registered, with refund of the difference value.

2022 Annual Meeting of TCS and SICB

Date:3-7, January, 2022

Abstration deadline:Late August 2021
Location:Phoenix, AZ

The SICB and TCS will return to Arizona in 2022. The SICB symposia are the center of the conference, and always draws strong forward looking science. We look forward to developing a symposia or two for this conference. Symposium proposal deadline is usually late August. The plenary speakers have brought the house down each year. The location will attract many of our Latin American and southern US region colleagues. Abstract deadlines are Sept 1st, 2021. If you are presenting your crustacean research as an oral talk or poster at SICB (or SICB+) 2022, we encourage you all to sign up for the "Crustacean Society (TCS) Best Student Presentation Program"! It is free to enroll and only takes 1 click of a box. This year SICB has introduced SICB+ a virtual option alongside the in-person meeting (3rd-7th 2022) and all participants are welcome.When you submit your SICB (SICB+) abstract (DUE Sept. 1st!) please click the box!.

TCS summer meeting 2025

Date:7-10 July 2025
Registration deadline:30th June 2025
Abstration deadline:10th March 2025
Location:Sorbonne University, Paris, France

After 31 years since the last time The Crustacean Society held its international meeting in Paris, we are delighted to finally welcome you here again for the 2025 TCS Summer Meeting.Although our city is not known to be particularly rich in Crustacea, Paris has been a world-renowned hotspot for crustacean research for more than two centuries since the creation of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN). Indeed, many famous scientists, such as Lamarck, Latreille, Henri and Alphonse Milne-Edwards, Guérin-Méneville, Desmarest, Bouvier and Fage to name a few, have worked within its walls. By creating and studying the extensive collections of both recent and fossil specimens, their work has provided much of the foundation of modern crustacean systematics. The crustacean collections of the MNHN are one of the finest and most diverse in the world, dating back to the naturalist expeditions of the 18th century...and the collection continues to expand thanks in part to the expeditions of the Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos (TDSB, formerly MUSORSTOM) program currently led by the MNHN. The first MUSORSTOM cruise in 1976 was an important starting point for a long series of deep-sea cruises in the Indo-Pacific. Under the leadership of Alain Crosnier, a modern pioneer in deep-sea biodiversity research at MNHN, these cruises rewrote the annals of deep-sea biodiversity. The saga of the MUSORSTOM cruises is also intricately linked to the work of Jacques Forest, Michèle de Saint Laurent, Danièle Guinot, and Bertrand Richer de Forges. Inspired and guided by these carcinologists, current exploration programs such as TDSB and La Planète Revisitée (Our Planet Reviewed) led by MNHN researchers are ongoing, providing specimens to the scientific community and contributing to our knowledge of crustaceans all over the world. At Sorbonne University, crustacean research has also been historically very important, with many studies focused on the taxonomy, morpho-anatomy, physiology, and evolution of crustaceans. Notable works by prominent scientists such as Yves Delages at the Roscoff station and by Yves Turquier and Jean Deustch in Paris have contributed to the general fundamental knowledge of crustaceans today.We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you all to our beautiful City of Light for the 2025 TCS Summer Meeting and hope you will have a marvelous time attending the conference and enjoying the Parisian way of life for at least a few days. Bienvenue !
