Federation of European Phycological Societies
European Phycological Congress
The European Phycological Congress (EPC) series began in 1996. The aim of the Congress is to bring together phycologists from across the world and from all branches of the discipline to take in the latest discoveries in the field, to engage in lively debate, to take the subject forward and to leave with new research avenues to explore. The EPC’s are organised by the Local Organising Committee and the Scientific Committee, with the full support of the Federation of European Phycological Societies (FEPS) and national phycological or botanical societies.
Members of European phycological associations or sections who are members of FEPS are entitled to a reduced registration fee at EPCs.
