Hosts IFS 2017

Agrocampus Ouest and the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER) are organizing the 10th International Flatfish Symposium in Saint-Malo (France), convened from 11-16 November, 2017.

Agrocampus Ouest: an accredited institution for the teaching of life sciences: all aspects of life sciences are studied here via agricultural and agri-food approaches as well as from economic, managerial and social perspectives.

Ifremer: through its research work and expert advice, contributes to knowledge of the oceans and their resources, to monitoring of marine and coastal environments and to the sustainable development of marine activities. To these ends, Ifremer conceives and operates tools for observation, experimentation and monitoring, and manage the oceanographic databases.

It also operates a great part of the ocean research fleet, including all underwater systems and large-scale mobile facilities and equipment (seismics, penetrometer, etc.). Since March 2011, scheduling and development of the entire French oceanographic fleet are supported by the UMS Fleet joint service unit, whose management has been entrusted to Ifremer for a four-year period.
