*logo icmss09FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT * ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ICMSS Conference Organizing Committees are happy to announce the dates and venue for the 7th ICMSS:
*7th International Conference on Molluscan Shellfish Safety
'Together for the safety of tomorrow'*
*14th-19th June 2009, Nantes, France*
We warmly invite you to participate in 'ICMSS09', the details of which can be found on our web site at www.icmss09.com <http://www.icmss09.com/>
ICMSS09 will be an excellent opportunity to discuss the latest developments in this vital area of research and regulation, and to analyse their significance. Our aim is to stimulate discussion in the worldwide community working on shellfish safety, leading to productive new research initiatives and sound recommendations for the future. Conference topics will include epidemiology, risk assessment, toxin monitoring, analytical methods in microbiology and biochemistry, consumer health protection, management of farming/harvesting areas, post-harvest treatment, and the macro-economic analysis of repercussions of shellfish-farming crises. We would like to make this conference an exciting forum for scientists, regulators and producers, which will make an important contribution to limiting health risks associated with microbiological, toxinic and chemical contamination of coastal areas. The conference will also address the identification of chemical contaminants and target species representing significant risks for consumers. Finally, it will look at areas for improvement in the development of high performance detection tools to prevent and/or monitor contamination, and will thereby contribute to supporting existing marine environmental monitoring networks. General information on the conference is available on the conference web site at: www.icmss09.com <http://www.icmss09.com/> <http://www.icmss09.com/>and you will receive all the instructions necessary for abstract submission and registration procedures in a forthcoming mailing.
*We look forward to seeing you soon at the conference.
