Dear coral reef community and interested visitors
We are pleased to announce that we successfully completed the 14th ICRS 2021 Virtual and the 15th ICRS as In-person event in Bremen, Germany.
The just completed 15th International Coral Reef Symposium included 9 Plenary Talks, a Science-to-Policy Dialogue Event, 2 Social Tours, 6 Science Tours and 12 Workshops as well as 791 in-person oral and poster presentations plus 193 oral and poster presentations on the virtual platform. You can watch and discuss all contributions on the virtual platform in the conference archive for another year, i.e. until July 2023.
The 15th ICRS in Bremen, Germany, was the primary international conference on coral reef science, conservation and management, which brought together leading scientists, early career researchers, conservationists, ocean experts, policy makers, managers and the public. The symposium was a key event to develop science-based solutions addressing the present and future challenges of coral reefs, which are globally exposed to unprecedented anthropogenic pressures. The event presented the latest scientific findings and ideas, provided a platform to build the essential bridges between coral reef science, conservation, politics, management and the public, and promoted public and political outreach.
The University of Bremen, supported by the Bremen Convention Bureau (BCB), organized the 15th ICRS. We welcome you all to find out more about the past conference on this website.
Now, we look forward to the 16th International Coral Reef Symposium taking place in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2026.
