Dear Colleagues,

AQUACOSM-plus is organizing the 3rd International Symposium on Aquatic Mesocosm-Based Research (https://meetinghand.com/e/aquacosm/), to be held in Antalya, Türkiye from November 7 to 10, 2023. The theme is "Collaborative Science for Tackling Global Grand Challenges" different aquatic realms.

We welcome contributions from researchers around the world using mesocosms to address scientific and societal grand challenges in all aquatic realms (including pond, lake, river, estuary, coast and open ocean). We welcome a broad range of contributions examining impacts across all scales, from local to landscape and regional! Submissions from Transnational Access (TA) users of the EU projects AQUACOSM and AQUACOSM-plus are particularly encouraged to contribute!
