Background

The Baltic Sea Science Congress (BSSC) is an international forumfor researchers of the Baltic Sea countries and is uniting the threemajor scientific communities: the Conference of Baltic Oceanog-raphers (CBO), Baltic Marine Biologists (BMB), and Baltic SeaGeologists (BSG). The objective of the congress is to bring togeth-er marine scientists and experts as well as young researchers.

With 7 BSSCs already held, the tradition is to alternate the biannu-al events among the Baltic Sea countries. As it was agreed at thelast BSSC in Tallinn, the 8th Congress is held in the city ofSt.Petersburg, Russia and organized by Russian State Hydromete-orological University (RSHU) (www.rshu.ru) in cooperation withBONUS Programme and Russian research institutions and scien-tific societies, with large contribution of CBO, BMB and BSG.The headline of the 8th BSSC is “Joint research efforts for sustain-able ecosystem management”.

The Congress is mainly supported by the Government of St. Pe-tersburg, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, TransCredit-Bank, RSHU and BONUS Programme.

Practical information

The 8th Baltic Sea Science Congress will be held in the hotel ParkInn Pribaltiyskaya.This St. Petersburg lodging is the largest conference hotel in thecity. It is located right on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, a 15-minute drive to the city centre. The hotel offers the guests newlyrenovated rooms, state-of-the-art conference centre, as well as di-rect access to aqua park, and free shuttle to the city centre.Hotel address:14 Korablestroiteley StreetSt. Petersburg 199226 Russiahttp://www.parkinn.com/hotelpribaltiyskaya-stpetersburg
