Sponsoring ICMB XII

The International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions is the principal forum in which scientists and policy makers from around the world meet to review current challenges in the global management of invasive marine organisms and to share new developments in science and policy. The 12th International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions will be held in Fucnhal, Madeira, Portugal in 2025.

ICMB operates on a not-for-profit basis under the Society for the Study of Marine Bioinvasions, with conference organization and administration managed solely by volunteer members of the Scientific Steering and Local Organizing Committees. We rely heavily on contributions from stakeholder organizations to offset conference costs.

Sponsoring ICMB offers many benefits, and your generous support would be noted prominently on our website and in conference materials.
