Thank You

Dear colleagues

On behalf of the organising committee, please accept our sincere thanks for participating in XV ICA 2018 in Antalya, Turkey. We greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into attending the congress. Its success was to a large degree due your personal involvement and that of your fellow participants. To you we say a big ‘Thank you’. We hope that the photo gallery uploaded at http://www.acarology.org/ica/ica2018/ brings back many wonderful memories for you.

The broad demographic of participants, which ranged from students in their 20s to veterans in their 90s, speaks volumes to the power of ICA to inspire acarologists and bring them together every four years. In total, we were delighted to have 271 participants from 44 countries and 6 continents who gave 188 oral and 91 poster presentations. The program featured 6 keynote speakers, 3 invited speakers, 5 plenary lectures, 4 symposia and 13 regular sections spread over 5 days.

We hope that the congress met all your personal expectations. The positive feedback we have received has complimented the congress venue, program and atmosphere. We therefore trust that you’ll want to experience the ICA environment again and that you’re already thinking about XVI ICA 2022 in Auckland.

Very best wishes

On behalf of the Organizing Committee

Dear colleagues

You are cordially invited to attend the XV International Congress of Acarology at the Swandor Hotels Topkapı Palace in Antalya, Turkey from 2 - 8 September, 2018.

The congress will be a wonderful opportunity for researchers, students and representatives of institutions worldwide to meet and discuss the latest results and new directions in research, with the aim of promoting international and regional collaboration.

The congress will address all aspects of fundamental, agricultural, medical and veterinary acarology and related topics.  

World renowned experts in acarology will be invited to give keynote and plenary lectures to present the latest developments in their research fields.

The proven track record of Antalya in hosting many hundreds of successful international congresses and conferences every year guarantees a memorable learning and cultural experience for all participants, including the old and very rich Turkish culture.

We will do our best to make XV ICA as fruitful and enjoyable as possible and look forward with great anticipation to seeing you in Antalya, Turkey in 2018.
