25th ISMAR Conference July 4-8, 2027, Lyon (held jointly with EUROMAR)

A common meeting of the ISMAR Council and EUROMAR Board of Trustees (BOT) was held on July 2 during the EUROMAR meeting in Bilbao to decide on the location of the joint ISMAR/EUROMAR conference in 2027. We were happy that four excellent proposals had been submitted by hosts from all over Europe, among which we could select, i.e.

•    Dublin, Ireland, by Chandralal Hewage
•    Katowice, Poland, by Wiktor Koźmiński
•    Lyon, France, by Guido Pintacuda and Malene Jensen
•    Prague, Czech Republic, by Lukáš Trantírek

We thank these local organizers very much for the tremendous effort that they had put into the proposals. Unfortunately, we could not select all, but had to decided on one. After a very constructive discussion, Lyon was selected by both boards with a large majority. Thus the 25th ISMAR Conference will be held jointly with EUROMAR in Lyon on July 4-8, 2027. We wish Guido and Malene all the best for the upcoming work and the success of the conference.
