Grampus griseus 200th anniversary: Risso’s dolphins in the contemporary world

Time:  Afternoon, 25th March, 2012 

Site:  Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Galway, Ireland

Year 2012 marks the 200th anniversary of the scientific nomination of Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus, Cuvier 1812). This is a fantastic chance to celebrate, as well as review our current knowledge about this “poorly known” species. This workshop will be held in honour of this fabulous occasion; researchers and students studying, or interested in Risso's dolphins are all welcome to attend. 

To register, please take a few minutes to fill in our register form,

If you would like to deliver a short presentation about your Grampus study, please send a message to Ing Chen <ingechen@ntu.edu.tw> for the abstract format. The deadline for abstract submission is 18th February 2012; we aim to edit it into a preview booklet for all attendees prior to the workshop.

Please note that there will be a provision fee of 10-20EUR for tea and coffee. For further questions, please contact Ing Chen <ingechen@ntu.edu.tw> or Karin Hartman <oceanwatch@gmail.com>. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to seeing you in Galway!
