On behalf of the International Seaweed Association (ISA) and the Local Organising Committee (LOC), we would like to inform you that we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 24th ISS for one year.  The new dates are: 19 – 24 February 2023.

Due to the ongoing Covid Pandemic, the Australian borders look unlikely to open to international visitors (except New Zealand) until the middle of 2022. The ISA and LOC consider that this postponement will give us the best chance to create a vibrant event for international networking, global seaweed industry development, sharing knowledge on all aspects of fundamental and applied seaweed research, and to showcase the Australian and New Zealand seaweed industries, research and development to the world.

We plan to retain a hybrid structure, but hope the majority of delegates and invited speakers will travel to Hobart. The ISS themes and sessions will remain the same and the invited speakers have been retained for 2023.

We very much look forward to seeing you in Hobart in 2023.

On behalf of the LOC,
Prof. Catriona Hurd and Prof. Michael A. Borowitzka
24th International Seaweed Symposium Co-Chairs
