April 23, 2028 - April 28, 2028
The website for the 18th Deep-Sea Biology Symposium (DSBS) is now live! DSBS 2028 will bring the international deep-sea biology community to Bergen, Norway, as part of One Ocean Week. The symposium will gather researchers working across taxonomy, genomics, ecosystem functioning, policy, technology, science communication and art, connecting deep-sea science with the wider public, policymakers and ocean stakeholders. The call for thematic session proposals is now open – submit your proposals by February 2027 to help shape the scientific programme. Pre-register on the website to get email updates and reminders as things come together. 18th DSBS 2028 is jointly organised by the University of Bergen (UiB), IMR and NORCE Research, with support from the Deep-Sea Biology Society. The beautiful conference mascots are illustrated by local Bergen artist and scientist David Rees.
