The FBA arranges a variety of national, regional and international meetings (by itself or jointly with others).
Each year we hold a highly respected Annual Scientific Meeting where members and delegates can come along and present their work and find out about the latest advances in freshwater science. Follow the link on the left for more information about this year's meeting.
This year the FBA will be holding a joint meeting with the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM) aimed at identifying and addressing the needs of the
In September 2008 we launched a series of Conferences in Aquatic Biology, the first of which investigated "Multiple Stressors in Freshwater Ecosystems". The second meeting, on "Integrated Catchment Management", in will in April 2010.
There are a number of regional meetings organised by local freshwater groups around the UK . For further information, click here.
In an international context the FBA joins with other leading overseas associations to organise key events and meetings such as the Symposium for European Freshwater Sciences (SEFS) series of conferences. SEFS 5 - the Fifth Symposium was held in Palermo, Sicily. 8-13 July, 2007 and over 360 delegates attended. The sixth SEFS meeting will be held in Romania 16 - 21 August, 2009.
