PROGRAMAÇÃO

CONFERÊNCIAS, PALESTRAS E MESAS-REDONDAS

O programa do XXIII Simpósio de Mirmecologia será composto por oito conferências plenárias e 16 mesas-redondas, além de sessões de apresentação de trabalhos (cerca de 300 trabalhos serão apresentados) sob a forma de comunicações orais ou de painéis. Sessenta e um palestrantes, todos especialistas de destaque das temáticas que serão abordadas, estão sendo esperados. Grande parte desses convidados será de fora do Brasil, afirmando o caráter resolutamente internacional do evento. Enfim, pela primeira vez nos seus mais de 30 anos de existência, o evento será realizado na capital do estado do Paraná, área de domínio do bioma da Mata Atlântica, reconhecendo as capacidades de pesquisa em Entomologia/Mirmecologia instaladas no Sul do país e afirmando a vontade de integração de todas as Regiões do Brasil no desenvolvimento da pesquisa científica.
