III International
Symposium on Tardigrada
The congress was attended by
31
researchers from
six
countries representing two
continents (Europe and North
America).
This
was the first time that a tardigrade meeting took place in the USA and
by this it was also the first Symposium held outside Europe. It was also
the first time a tardigrade conference had a logo.
