Dear friends, We are happy to announce that the Fifth International Orca Symposium will take place in Tarifa (Strait of Gibraltar, Spain), between the *28 September - 2 October 2020*. All killer whale researchers are invited to the event. The meeting will be organized by CIRCE, and follows a similar format to the previous symposium held in 2002 by CEBC-CNRS in Chizé (France). On the web page www.orca.world you can find out more information about this event. The objective of the symposium is to gather researchers from all over the world for a week in Tarifa, to present the latest advances in killer whale research. All participants are invited to present one or more posters and an oral presentation. As many posters you want and an oral presentation per participant will be accepted, but we need a submissions process to organize the sessions by the 1st of July 2020. Submission instructions are available on the website (www.orca.world). The first 2.5 days will be reserved for oral presentations and plenary sessions. The last 2 days will be reserved for workshops. The goal of the symposium is to have ample opportunity for discussion, and interaction among researchers. A broad social and cultural parallel agenda will be organized, in the same spirit as previous symposiums, so do not hesitate to come accompanied if you wish. Alongside the symposium, CIRCE will take the opportunity to carry out parallel training activities in the Campo de Gibraltar, which will consist of an exhibition of photographs on orcas in Tarifa, a campaign of micro-volunteers in schools in Algeciras, Barbate and Tarifa, a video exhibition, and talks open to the general public.
