II International Symposium on Tardigrada 

The second smallest Symposium in the history was attended by only 16 participants who presented 11 talks during the two days of the conference.

This was the only tardigrade meeting held behind the iron curtain (in a communist country), which had some unusual consequences. For example, Barbara Węglarska, who organised the congress, had to provide the authorities not only with the names of participants, but also some of their personal details such as the birth dates and names of parents as all westerners were considered potential spies by the communist government. Wanting to avoid bothering her guests, Barbara made up the dates and other details. Fortunately, the authorities haven't found out about the fraud.

Proceedings

The Symposium talks have been published in a special volume of 'Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Jagiellonskiego - Prace Zoologiczne'. Given that the Symposium was very small, the volume contains only 11 scientific papers on tardigrade morphology, taxonomy, faunistics, physiology, reproduction and embryology.
