World Congress of Malacology 2016の報告

2017年7月20日

　昨年７月にマレーシアで開催されたWorld Congress of Malacology 2016の様子を掲載しました。

　World Congress of Malacology（WCM）が2016年7月18日～24日にマレーシア・ペナン島で開催された。

　本会議はUnitas Malacologica（UM）が3年毎に開催する会議で、今回は第19回、アジアでは2010年のタイ・プーケットに次ぐ2回目の開催となった。総参加者数は41か国から280名で、35名が参加した日本は、参加者数の最も多い国となった。35名中27名は当学会会員である。すべての講演、発表はペナン島の中心部地区で、その歴史的街並みが世界遺産として登録されているジョージタウンのホテルで行われた。

WCM2016 研究発表

　研究発表は14のシンポジウムとオープンセッションで行われ、大越会長、浅見崇比呂会員、Barna Pall-Gergely会員がそれぞれシンポジウムのコンビナーを務められたほか、浅見会員は基調講演も行った。学生の優秀な発表についてはUMや他の学会から表彰され、大澤祐美子会員がUMの最優秀口頭発表賞、吉村太郎会員（高校生）が同じくUMの最優秀ポスター発表賞を受賞した。大澤会員はUMから渡航費用助成を受けられた。当学会で渡航助成した5名の会員もそれぞれ発表を行い、高評価を得た。

　次回のWCMは2019年8月11日～16日にカリフォルニアのモントレーで開催される。
