This meeting, held under the auspices of ISAP, will be organized in collaboration with Canada's National Research Council - Institute for Marine Biosciences and convened at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel June 19 - 24, 2011. The theme of our 2011 congress is Scaling-up for new opportunities in applied phycology. Participants will include scientists, researchers, students, engineers, entrepreneurs, industry representatives, policy makers, marketers, and manufacturers coming together to discuss relevant issues regarding the cultivation, application, and commercialization of algae and their products. Our meeting will foster discussion on the most recent research discoveries and breakthroughs in applied phycology, while providing a productive forum for networking with both new and familiar colleagues from around the globe. Whether your interests are microalgae or seaweeds; production, value addition, harvesting or cultivation for human health, animal health, cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, or biofuels applications - ISAP 2011 is for you. Halifax and its environs are a home to advanced and applied phycological research. With its legacy as one of the world's leading centres of algal research, the Halifax area has produced and attracted numerous practitioners in micro- and macro-algal production and harvesting, product development, commercialization, and biofuels technology development. The ISAP 2011 social program will provide participants with opportunities to visit Halifax's algal research community, explore the beauty of our seascape, and experience the warm hospitality that Atlantic Canada is famous for. We look forward to your contributions to our excellent scientific program and exciting networking events. We will be honoured to have you join us in Halifax as our guests and leave as our friends!
