The "Dutch Coral Research Symposium" will be held 17th December 2007 at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics  (IBED) of the Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The symposium provides an opportunity for scientists involved in coral research through Dutch institutions to come together and share their most recent discoveries. Furthermore, several prominent researchers from international institutions have been invited to give a talk and share their thoughts on the current status of coral reefs.

We would like to extend the invitation to colleagues, scientists, managers, and both graduate and undergraduate students from the European Community to attend. This symposium is organized by Pim Bongaerts,  Pedro Frade and Petra Visser.
