MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES

Scientific conferences are organised by the Society every three years.

The basic goals of these conferences are:

1. To raise the profile of malacology in the region.
   
   
2. To allow a forum for malacologists from Australian, New Zealand, the Pacific and Asia, to get together to discuss current research, issues, problems, proposals and joint interests.
   
   
3. To encourage an exchange of information and increase awareness of malacology throughout Australia and Asia.

In addition, workshops are organized from time to time to meet specific needs, or as coordinators become available.
