Every three years since 1981 the World Association of Copepodologists (WAC) holds an international conference called the International Conference on Copepoda or the “ICOC.”

These have become the most important global gatherings for all researchers and students of copepods. Each conference gives participants the chance to meet fellow researchers, talk with students and experts, borrow material, and plan collaborations.

Each meeting is unique, teeming with the individuality and culture of the host nation.

See you at the 14^th ICOC in 
South Africa in 2021!
