GENERAL INFORMATION
The Congress Schedule
The WCM will start with an icebreaker on Sunday, July 15th (17:30 19:30) in the reception hall of the Zoo
of Antwerp (Astridplein, near «Antwerpen Centraal» railway station). Conference sessions will be
organised in four parallel sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. All sessions will be held in
the T-Building of campus «Groenenborger» of the University of Antwerp. Lunches will be served in the
cafetaria of the same building. The poster session will be held on Tuesday late afternoon/evening and will
include a reception with wine, typical Belgian degustations, cheese and of course... a selection of Belgian
beers. Wednesday is a free day during which participants can discover the many historical and beautiful
places in Antwerp. They can also join one of the optional congress trips or do whatever they want, of
course! On Thursday evening AMS will host its annual auction of molluscan books and paraphernalia (no
specimens) to benefit its student programs. The conference dinner will be on Friday evening.
The Science
The WCM is an opportunity for malacologists from throughout the world to get together to discuss their
research. To do so, there will be thematic symposia, open contributed sessions and a poster session with
posters on display for the duration of the congress. Note: max 1 oral and 1 poster per presenting author.
Several thematic symposia are planned:
SEXUAL SELECTION IN MOLLUSCS
Traits that evolve through selection during the process of mating are said to be sexually selected. Famously,
Darwin claimed that sexual selection could not occur in molluscs, because of their hermaphroditism and
imperfect senses, but in this he was clearly wrong. In fact, sexual selection is particularly strong in
molluscs owing to the prevalence of sperm competition. Some sexually selected molluscan traits that have
been documented by recent studies include extreme variations in reproductive anatomies, complex mating
systems, variable mating strategies, mate choices, sexual signaling, bizarre courtship behaviours, and post-
copulatory manipulations. Because such traits are closely linked to reproductive success, they tend to
evolve rapidly, with sometimes unexpected results such as the love-dart. Also, given that the specific
reproductive interests of the two sexes are usually different, and may even be in conflict, male and female
traits do not necessarily evolve symmetrically. Some recent evidence points to the occurrence of
antagonistic co-evolution between male and female traits within hermaphroditic molluscs. In this
symposium we aim at an overview of research on sexual selection in molluscs, with the purpose of
stimulating and guiding further research on this topic.

INVENTORYING THE MOLLUSCAN FAUNA OF THE WORLD: FRONTIERS AND
PERSPECTIVES
Species-level taxonomy is making a come-back. The global discovery, description and naming of new
mollusc species continues at a steady pace. Undersampled regions or habitats, understudied families, as
well as old faunas being revisited with new characters, all contribute new species to the global inventory, as
they have in the past. However, the global context of molluscan exploration is changing with, e.g., the
Convention on Biological Diversity, the Barcoding of Life or the Global Biodiversity Information Facility
directly or indirectly affecting the way we collect, analyze and archive specimens and information related
to them. How are new explorations changing our perception of the magnitude of regional or global faunas?
Where are the frontiers? How is the molecular revolution impacting day-to-day on alpha taxonomy? What
are the bottlenecks to describing and naming new mollusc species? What problems and solutions do we
share with other taxonomists, and what makes malacologists different? What is / what should be the place
of malacological journals in this endeavour? These will be the core questions dealt with by this symposium.

MICROMOLLUSCS: METHODOLOGICAL CHALLENGES, EXCITING RESULTS
The majority of molluscan biodiversity is composed of animals in a size range of <5 mm, yet these
micromolluscs are often considered difficult to work with. This symposium brings together various workers
on micromolluscs to foster information exchange and to stimulate further investigations. Presentations
should be composed of equal parts of detailed methods, including failed attempts and currently unresolved
problems, and results. Presentations discussing methods only are also encouraged. All aspects of working
with micromolluscs (including: collecting, sorting, preservation, curation, tools, morphology, histology,
imaging, life history, fossil, recent, marine, freshwater, terrestrial) may be addressed as long as the
maximum diameter of the animals is =< 5 mm. An open discussion on the various issues will conclude the
symposium. Possibilities about symposium proceedings in the form of a special journal issue are
considered.

MOLLUSCS AS MODELS IN EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY: FROM LOCAL SPECIATION TO
GLOBAL RADIATION
Evolutionary biology is not only a biological subdiscipline but provides us with the foundation stone for
biology in general. However, to date two of the least understood phenomena in evolutionary biology are the
diversity of biological organisms, or biodiversity, which is far from being discovered, and its causation (i.e.
the evolutionary processes leading to it). Surprisingly, decades after the "Modern Synthesis" as most
comprehensive scientific achievement in this field and centuries after the commencement of research in
biological systematics, we are still unable to satisfyingly answer apparently simple questions such as (i)
how many species inhabit the earth today, (2) how did this diversity originate, and (3) how is this diversity
distributed. While many contributions in malacology center around morphology, anatomy, and in particular
phylogenetic relationships within and among its constituent taxa, rarely molluscs have been utilized
explicitly as models for the study of general aspects in evolutionary biology. However, we feel that also
this particular group with its many features and facettes is highly suitable for providing some fundamental
insights into the mechanisms of the genesis of biodiversity, its pattern in historical biogeography and the
underlying processes of speciation and radiation. Thus, it is the aim of this symposium to bring together
experts and their expertise based on molluscs to provide some of those fundamental studies and data that
are of relevance for evolutionary biology with aspects as outlined above, in order to facilitate the influence
of malacology within evolutionary biology.

MOLLUSCS IN ECOTOXICOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Ecotoxicology integrates studies related to ecological and toxicological effects of chemical pollutants
and/or natural stressors on individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems with those dealing with
the fate (transport, transformation and breakdown) of such pollutants in the environment. Molluscs are
increasingly used as model organisms in ecotoxicology. The symposium will cover all fields of
ecotoxicology in its broadest sense (descriptive studies of pollutant distribution and effects in individuals,
development and evaluation of biomarkers, measurement techniques, biomonitoring, exposure and risk
assessment, environmental protection and management etc.). Attention will be given to all different levels
of biological organisation: cells, tissues, individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems.

MOLLUSCS AND PEST CONTROL
The worldwide demand for strategies to control molluscs as pests in horticulture, agriculture and
aquaculture necessitates an integrated approach amalgamating knowledge from the ecology and biology of
molluscs, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and also from economy. The symposium "Molluscs and pest
control" shall, therefore, cover a wide field of research activities including those related to refinements of
existing methods to control molluscs, studies on new regulation methods and strategies, work on
techniques to detect effects and side-effects of molluscicide agents, and studies on distinct responses of
molluscs to (potential) molluscicides at different biological levels (e.g. behaviour, physiological, cellular or
molecular reactions) by which distinct modes of action can be elucidated. Also contributions on
fundamental research in biology of molluscs aimed at finding new, and possibly more specific instruments
for pest control are welcome.

MOLLUSCAN MODELS: ADVANCING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE EYE
Several invertebrate systems have been developed to study the eye and eye disease (Drosophila, Planaria,
Platynereis, and most recently, the cubozoan jellyfish Tripedalia), but a molluscan model is conspicuously
absent. This is surprising as mollusc systems offer many advantages and opportunities to study basic visual
processes that may be altered in the disease state, physiology of vision, development of the visual system,
and evolution. As an example, recent work shows that cytoskeletal organization is regulated by the state of
light and dark adaptation in cephalopods. We also know that some disease states in the retina affect the
cytoskeleton. Studies on cephalopod photoreceptors could lead to a better understanding of the role of the
cytoskeleton in photoreceptors and provide clues that link its organization to retinal disease. To take
advantage and increase the use of molluscan eye models, there is a need to increase interactions between
eye researchers and malacologists, who study the organism as a whole. Malacologists provide a detailed
knowledge of the organism's ecology/habitat/niche that, when combined with expertise on the development
and physiology of the eye, have the potential to re-direct research to more fruitful questions and model
systems. At present, these two groups of researchers are largely unaware of the other's body of work as they
do not attend the same meetings or publish in the same journals. This symposium will open a dialog
between these fields, to invigorate and advance eye research into new frontiers by using molluscan eyes as
a model system to study eye development and disease.

ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF THE NON-MARINE MOLLUSKS OF THE EASTERN
MEDITERRANEAN
This symposium aims to provide an overview of the distributions of land and freshwater mollusks
throughout the eastern Mediterranean countries. We hope to achieve a better understanding of the past
events, paleogeography and speciation, from the present patterns and vice versa. The area of coverage
includes Greece, Turkey, the lower Balkan countries, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, the Middle Eastern countries
and Egypt. Contributions from adjacent countries not listed will be considered.

BIODIVERSITY AT CROSSROADS: FRESHWATER BIVALVES FROM MASS EXTINCTION
TO GLOBAL INVASION
Freshwater habitats represent just a tiny fraction of the Biosphere, yet their role is central in the global
ecosystem. They contribute disproportionately to global biodiversity, with about a third of fish species and
possibly near a fourth of mollucs. Today this richness is under serious threat from a variety of human-
induced factors, among which radical habitat destruction, rampant pollution and expanding invasive species
(bivalves included) are paramount. Bivalves have experienced several evolutionary radiations in
freshwaters, often becoming keystone ecological elements. The purpose of this symposium is to bring
together what we know (and don't) about any and all freshwater bivalves: their diversity, adaptations,
evolution, ecology, and management. We would like to cover all major areas of research, as well as all
biogeographic regions and taxonomic groups involved. Synthetic, general approaches are thus just as
welcome as in-depth, local reports from anywhere. The goal is to provide a coherent, strong case for action
in research and conservation of these unique faunas worldwide.

NEOGASTROPOD ORIGINS, PHYLOGENY, EVOLUTIONARY PATHWAYS AND
MECHANISMS
Neogastropods constitute a diverse and extremely successful radiation of predatory marine gastropods that
appeared abruptly in the fossil record during the Albian (100 mya) with nearly all families represented in
essentially modern form by the end of the Cretaceous. While neogastropods are united by and easily
recognized on the basis of distinctive shell, radular, and anatomical features, these characters have failed to
demonstrate an unambiguous affinity to other gastropods, or to resolve into nested subsets that clearly define
evolutionary patterns within the group. Relationships among the many lineages within the Neogastropoda
have also been difficult to discern because of high rates of homoplasy and high incidence of derived,
autapomorphic features in both morphological and molecular data sets. This symposium will address
questions of neogastropod origins, monophyly, age, patterns of diversification and cladogenesis and their
evolutionary pathways and mechanisms from a variety of perspectives, including paleontology, morphology,
anatomy, DNA sequence evolution, reproduction and developmental biology. Detailed studies of taxonomic
subsets within Neogastropoda are also welcome. The proceedings of this symposium will be published as a
supplement to The Nautilus. Contributors are encouraged to contact either of the organizers with a tentative
title for their presentation. Oral presentations as well as posters are welcome.

DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS IN INTERTIDAL MOLLUSCS
Intertidal zone, the interface between the ocean and land is a region where an abundance of marine life
thrives. The extreme ranges of physical and chemical forces structure biological communities in the
intertidal zone. Among the benthos, molluscs form a major group of organisms in this zone and most of
them survive here with various adaptations. Unfortunately, it's a place where changes to the climate and
human influence make their greatest impact. At present intertidal zones all over the world are reeling under
anthropogenic pressure and molluscs in such deteriorated environment are surviving with the help of
physiological and biochemical mechanisms. The aim of this symposium is to bring together contemporary
research approaches that address issues such as the assessment of intertidal diversity of molluscs and their
life history traits including biochemical and physiological adaptations. The interest is towards the
mechanisms and consequences of the alteration in intertidal habitats on molluscs. Advance methodologies
are emerging which are strongly influencing research development in biodiversity. Contributions including
advance technologies in intertidal molluscan diversity measurements are also expected for the symposium.

HEART AND CIRCULATION IN MOLLUSCS
This Congress provides an opportunity to examine the roles, in the evolution of the anatomy of heart and
circulation of present day molluscs, of behavior and physiological function at several levels: subcellular,
tissue, organ, organ systems and interaction with the environment. Local and central control systems may
be taken into account. The initiative in organising the symposium is being taken by physiologists convinced
that the life of the molluscan animal must be described through relating anatomy and behavior to analysis
of physiological functions.

QUATERNARY MALACOLOGY
The aim is to include contributions from both the marine and non-marine realms and to cover a broad
geographical area encompassing the North Atlantic and the whole of the Palaearctic region. We welcome
contributions from the Plio-Pleistocene to the Holocene. Likely themes could involve historical
biogeography, environmental archaeology, palaeoecology and stratigraphy. The symposium is organised by
EQMal (European Quaternary Malacologists) and Naturalis (National Museum of Natural History) in
Leiden (The Netherlands).

are included in the registration fee.
The congress dinner will be at the «Grand Cafe Horta», Hopland 2, 2000 Antwerp, in the city centre of
Antwerp, close to the house of the famous painter Pieter Paul Rubens. It will include an apéritif reception,
dinner and dancing (DJ). By its location, «Grand Cafe Horta», allows you to explore the Antwerp nightlife
after the dinner as well... it is close to the hotels and with the public transport (night busses) it is easy to
return to the campus accommodation. The apéritif reception will start at 20:00, the dinner at 21:00 and then
it is up to you...!
Price: 50 /person (delegates and non-delegates)
The optional leisure activities on Wednesday include (price: 25 /person, delegates or non-delegates;
meals and consumptions NOT included,unless indicated otherwise):
Option 1: «Saeftinghe»
The nature reserve "Verdronken Land van Saeftinghe" is one of the largest (3484 km²) tidal marshes of
Europe and harbours a unique fauna and flora. The reserve is of international interest as breeding and
wintering site for dozens of bird species. A guide will take you on a 3-hour adventurous and spectacular
trip over the mud-flats! Further, you will visit several other beautiful places in "Zeeuws-Vlaanderen" (The
Netherlands) with a nice walk in the dunes and on the beach. Collecting molluscs will be possible.
Recommended to those who love physical exercise and nature!
Price includes bus trip, guide and entrance to the nature reserve. Participants are advised to bring spare
clothes and waterproof shoes or boots (see photographs on the WCM website later on). Because of the
length (3 hours) and the difficulty of the trip, children under the age of ten are not allowed. Please note
that with this trip you will cross the Belgian-Dutch border, which means that participants requiring
a visa should make sure that they have a "SCHENGEN VISA" (see further under "Travel
documents")
Option 2: «Bicycle tour»
The harbour of Antwerp, one of the largest in the world, is a vast area of docks and (petrochemical)
industry. Nevertheless, in and around the harbour there are many scenic, rural and traditional landscapes,
including several nature reserves, that have been (more or less) preserved. You will explore the harbour and
some of these landscapes by bike and learn more about the conflicts that result when trying to integrate
industry, nature and living areas, which often results in weird, spectacular and nostalgic sceneries. Of
course, regular stops will be made to "taste" Flander's way of living (beer, ice-cream, waffles, chocolates)!
This trip is a must for those who are sportive, but who nevertheless like to enjoy the good things of life!
Approximate biking distance: 40-50 km. Price includes bus trip and rent of a bike.
Option 3: «Castle of Bouillon»
The castle of Bouillon was founded in the 8th century and is one of the largest and best preserved West
European castles of the medieval "dark ages". The castle is famous because Godfried of Bouillon sold it to
the diocese of Liège to fund the first cruisade (1096). During the guided visit of the castle you will attend a
spectacular falconry with a variaty of birds of prey. Afterwards, you will visit the abbey "Notre-Dame de
Orval" which was funded in 1132 and which is one of the most famous Cistercian abbeys. It produces one
of the world's five "Trappist" beers of which, of course, you will have a taste! Although visiting the abbey
itself is not allowed, you will visit the ruines of the oldest parts of the abbey and the botanical garden with
its large collection of medicinal herbs. Recommended to those who like to combine nature and history!
Price includes bus trip, guide, visits to the castle, the falconry, the ruines of the abbey and the botanical
garden.
Option 4: «Bruges»
Bruges is perhaps the most famous Belgian city and is often called the "Venice of the North". The city has
a beautifully preserved historical centre and houses a wide diversity of museums, with famous collections
of paintings of Flemish Primitives, contemporary art, classical "fine-arts", archeological items, historical
furniture, silverware, folklore and so on. In short, there is something for everybody! You will start with a
guided tour of two hours to get an idea about the historical wealth that Bruges has to offer. Afterwards you
will get the opportunity to explore Bruges yourself. You will receive a museum ticket that allows entrance
to Bruges' most popular museums (Groeninge museum, Arentshuis and Forum museum). At the end, you
will visit the brewery "De Halve Maan" with, of course, a degustation! Finally, you will have dinner at the
brewery. Recommended to those who love art, folklore and architecture! Price includes bus trip, guide,
museum tickets and visit to the brewery.
Practical details on the trips will follow later. KEEP AN EYE ON THE WCM WEBSITE, where we will
also post some photographs to give you some idea of what the trips will offer.

Travel information (all fares indicated may be subject to change)
Reaching Antwerp is easy. The main point for orientation is «Antwerpen Centraal» railway station in the
city centre. All trains and busses from the airports converge there and at the same time it is the main point
of departure to the campus. So when you get lost... ask for «Antwerpen Centraal»!!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CONGRESS ORGANISATION WILL NEITHER PROVIDE
TRANSPORTATION, NOR WILL PICK UP PEOPLE AT AIRPORTS OR RAILWAY
STATIONS. WE COUNT ON YOUR SCOUTING TALENTS!
(1) Reaching Antwerp by airplane:
Airports with good connections to Antwerp:
Antwerp airport: http://www.antwerpairport.be/en/index.html
Brussels airport: http://www.brusselsairport.be/index.cfm?lang=en
Charleroi airport: http://www.charleroi-airport.com/BSCA/siteEN.nsf/.Accueil?Readform
Amsterdam airport (Schiphol): http://www.schiphol.nl/
Antwerp airport is a very small (and coasy) one and is served by only very few companies. Yet, people
coming from (or via) the UK might find it a convenient solution as there are daily flights to Antwerp from
London, Liverpool and Manchester. In Antwerp airport you can take a bus (line 14) to «Antwerpen
Centraal» railway station, i.e. where the congress hotels are located. Attendants with campus
accommodation should take the same bus (line 14) to either «Antwerpen Centraal» railway station, where
they have to change to busses 32, 27, 21, 501 or 502 to reach the campus (see further «How to reach the
campus») OR to «Berchem» railway station, where they have to switch to busses 32, 21, 501 or 502.
Brussels (Zaventem) is the main international airport in Belgium, with a shuttle bus to the city centre of
Antwerp, i.e. «Antwerpen Centraal» railway station (1 bus/hour; trip takes 45min; 8 ). You can also t ake
the train in Brussels Airport and switch trains in «Brussel Noord» railway station (5 trains/hour; 60-80min;
6.70 ). Evidently trains will bring you to «Antwer pen Centraal» railway station. In some cases you may
have to switch trains in «Berchem» railway station. This is normally indicated and/or announced. Do not
hesitate to ask the train staff, they speak Dutch, French and English. You can check the train connections,
itineraries and prices at the website of the Belgian railways (see below).
Charleroi (Brussels South) is a major hub for a number of low cost airlines. From Charleroi you can reach
«Antwerpen Centraal» railway station by direct train (2 trains/hour; 90-100min; 12.40 ) (see further at the
website of the Belgian railways here below).
Another convenient possibility is to fly to Amsterdam (Schiphol) and take the train from Schiphol Airport
to Antwerp. You can take either the fast trains (Thalys; you have to book in advance and it is more
expensive) or the «normal» direct trains (one train/hour; 120min; 26 ) (see further at the website of the
Belgian railways here below). PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS POSSIBILITY MAY
REQUIRE A «SCHENGEN VISA» (see under «Travel documents»)!
(2) Reaching Antwerp by train:
Antwerp is well-served by railways, with international connections to Amsterdam (each hour), Paris,
London and many other major cities in Europe. More information can be found at the website of the
Belgian railways, where you can also purchase your tickets online (by credit and bank cards). PLEASE
NOTE THAT IF YOU HAVE NO TICKET WHEN YOU TAKE A TRAIN, YOU SHOULD WARN THE
TRAIN STAFF BEFORE YOU ENTER THE TRAIN, otherwise you may be fined. Note also that
purchasing tickets on the train itself is more expensive than purchasing tickets online or in the railway
stations. The prices indicated here or on the website of the Belgian railways are for tickets bought online or
in the railway stations.

(3) Reaching Antwerp by bus:
There are convenient and cheap bus connections between many major European cities and Antwerp via
«Eurolines» (see website here below). The Eurolines bus terminus in Antwerp is in the city centre near the
«Rooseveltplaats», close to «Antwerpen Centraal» railway station (few min walking) and the congress
hotels.
International bus connections to Antwerp («Eurolines»): http://www.eurolines.com/
(4) Reaching Antwerp by car:
Please help Belgium to fullfil its Kyoto norm.... and do not come by car. However, if you still prefer to
come by car, then these are the places to reach (all in Antwerpen):
Congress site: University of Antwerp, Campus Groenenborger, Groenenborgerlaan 171
Campus accommodation MHC: University of Antwerp, Campus Middelheim, Middelheimlaan 1
Campus accommodation TPC («Theologisch Pastoraal Centrum»): Groenenborgerlaan 149
A route planner: http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/tpl/hme/MaHomePage.htm
A personalised route description will be provided by the Congress Organiser if asked for.
(5) How to reach the congress site at Campus Groenenborger:
Attendants with Campus accommodation can simply walk to the congress venue.
Attendants using hotel accommodation in the city centre will have to use the public transport. Locations of
bus stops and time tables will be provided at the WCM website later on. Currently the area around
«Antwerpen Centraal» railway station is a big construction yard and all bus stops have been temporarily
moved. So we will provide exact information as soon as the situation has returned to normal. Anyway the
bus lines to the congress site are: 21, 27, 32, 501 and 502. These lines are of course also useful for the
attendants with campus accommodation when they are in the city centre. Lines 21, 32, 501 and 502 also
pass via «Berchem» railway station, where there are shuttle trains to «Antwerpen Centraal» (takes 4 min).
Attendants coming by train from Brussels might prefer to leave the train in «Berchem» railway station
instead of going further to «Antwerpen Centraal».
Bus tickets or multiticket cards (the so-called «lijnkaart») can be purchased at the ticketing desks in
the railway stations. Tickets can also be purchased on the bus/tram, but are more expensive then.
Currently fares for single tickets are:
Bought as individual ticket:
1.5 on bus/tram
1.2
in railway stations
Bought on a «Lijnkaart» (= multi-ticket card):
1.0 on bus/tram
0.8 in railway stations
A ticket is valid over the whole bus/tram/pre-metro network in Antwerpen during ONE hour; in that
time you can change from busses and trams as much as you want. Each time you enter the bus or
tram you have to push the ticket or «Lijnkaart» in the yellow validation machines. The machine will
whistle when your ticket is no longer valid (i.e. when your out of time).
TAXIS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, SO UNLESS YOU CAN SHARE A TAXI WITH OTHER
DELEGATES, WE THINK YOU MAY NOT WANT TO TAKE A TAXI... UNLESS YOU FEEL
REALLY DESPERATE OF COURSE!
What else to know and/or to remember...
Travel documents:
Please check that you have a valid PASSPORT and that you obtain a VISA if necessary. In case of doubt
check with the Belgian embassy, consulate or representation in your area. You can also find all information
about VISA for Belgium at: http://www.diplomatie.be/en/travel/visa/default.asp; According to Belgian law
you must always have your passport or identity card with you; other documents are NOT VALID to
legitimate yourself. If you plan to come via Amsterdam and/or if you intend to join the «Saeftinghe» trip
you should apply for a «SCHENGEN VISA»; more info at: http://www.eurovisa.info/SchengenVisa.htm;
Bank services:
There are no bank facilities at the campus, yet there are several banks close to the campus. Note that these
banks do not provide exchange services. You can, however, withdraw money () from bank automates
using credit cards and bank cards at all times (24/24). Banks are open on week days from 9:00 to 16:00.
Although paying by credit cards is very common in Belgium, it is not customary to do so for small amounts
(e.g. for a beer in a pub or a ticket on a bus). Hence it would be good to have some cash in the poc ket
(small bills and/or coins!). Money exchange facilities are available at the airports and in «Antwerpen
Centraal» railway station (also in the major railway stations in Brussels of course). Yet, these facilities are
not 24/24 open. So it may be a good idea to change some money in your country of departure. Please note
that in Belgium only is accepted for cash paymen ts.

Climate:
Belgium has a temperate climate, but last years the weather in July has been dry and hot (to our standards),
with temperatures often in the range of 25-35°C, yet for the same price temperatures can drop to 15°C.
Rain and showers are not excluded. So, weather may be quite unpredictable and variable, but on average
July is a very nice month... with usually excellent weather for enjoying a drink (and malacological
discussions of course...) on one of the many terasses in the city centre...
Dress standards:
Yes, be dressed.... Casual clothing will be perfect for all congress activities.
Smoking:
According to Belgian law, it is forbidden to smoke in public places. Hence ALL congress facilities are non
smoking areas. From January 1st 2007, smoking will also be forbidden in restaurants and restricted in pubs.
Tourism in Antwerp:
Touristic information can be found at the following websites:
http://www.antwerpen.be/eCache/BEN/52.html

http://www.trabel.com/antwerp.htm
Insurance and disclaimer:
Registration fees do not include insurance of any kind. All delegates must make their own individual
arrangements with respect to travel, medical and other insurances.
THE CONGRESS ORGANISATION WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY
PARTICIPANT FAILING TO INSURE. SIMILARLY, THE CONGRESS ORGANISATION WILL
NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE SUSTAINED BY
PARTICIPANTS OR THEIR ACCOMPANYING PERSONS OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO THEIR
PERSONAL PROPERTY AS A RESULT OF THE WORLD CONGRESS OF MALACOLOGY
2007 OR RELATED EVENTS.
SEE YOU IN ANTWERP !
