The DANIEL JOUVANCE FOUNDATION ( www.danieljouvance-fondation.org ) will set up the 3th International School in Marine Biology at the Oceanography Center, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, from October 29th to November 05th, 2017. This 3th International School in Marine Biology will associate the Daniel Jouvance Foundation, the Pierre & Marie Curie Unive rsity Foundation and the Oceanography Center of the University of Cyprus (OC/UCY). The Daniel Jouvance - UPMC International School in Marine Biology is a summer school for postgraduate students of Eastern Mediterranean Region, which aims to summarize the latest advances in Mari ne Biology. Lecturers from Cyprus, Italia, Israel and France ar e international, well-known researchers in Marine Biological Sciences. The Scho ol will incorporate lectures focused on the situation of marine biology in Cypru s and the Eastern Mediterranean basin. This will be followed by prese ntations on the Current Issues in marine biology, including Marine Biotechn ology, as well as on the novel approaches such as Genomics, Post-genomics an d Bio-informatics. To illustrate the power of these techniques, corals an d other symbioses will be discussed as a case study. Attendance: 30 PhD students and post-doctoral fello ws from Eastern Mediterranean Region with interests in Marine Biolo gy. Costs for

accommodation and food will be covered by the Danie l Jouvance Foundation, and participants will only have to pay for their tr avel. Participants will have to stay for the whole duration of the course. See more details: http://www.ucy.ac.cy/oceanography/en � IMPORTANT DATES: APPLICATION DEADLINE: 15 th July 2017. ACCEPTANCE CONFIRMATION: after 31 th July 2017. � ORGANIZING COMMITTEE:
