10th WIOMSA Scientific Symposium 2
INTRODUCTIONThe Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (WIOMSA), the Institute of Marine Science (IMS) and the Department of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries (DASF) of the University of Dar es Salaam, the Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute (TAFIRI) and the Nairobi Convention extend a warm welcome to all delegates attending the 10th WIOMSA Scientific Symposium. We hope that your stay in Dar es Salaam will be fruitful and enjoyable.
SYMPOSIUM VENUEWIOMSA’s 10th Scientific Symposium will be held at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Center (JNICC) which is conveniently located in the heart of Dar es Salaam’s city centre on Shaaban Robert Street. Most of the accommodation options are within a walking distance of the Conference Centre and transport will be provided for participants staying in designated symposium hotels that are further away from JNICC.
Plenary, oral and poster presentation sessions will take place at JNICC which has the following rooms: Selous, Mikumi, Bagamoyo, Mafia, Gombe, Katavi and the Victoria Lobby (which will be used for poster and exhibition sessions). These rooms are air-conditioned and audio/visual equipment will be supplied and ready in time for the conference.
The main conference room, Selous Conference Hall, has a maximum capacity of 1000 people in theatre style seating, and will be used for the opening ceremony and the key note presentations as well as one of the parallel oral presentation sessions. The remaining 5 parallel oral presentation sessions will take place in the above listed rooms where the seating will be in cinema style.
GETTING THERE: TRANSPORTShuttles will be organized to pick up delegates on Saturday 28th October and Sunday 29th October from the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) to the listed symposium hotels, and on Saturday 4th November and Sunday 5th November to the airport. Timetables for departure days will be placed at the conference secretariat desk. The airport is approximately 40 minutes’ drive from the venue, during low traffic.
Symposium shuttle service. Shuttles will be organized every morning at 7.30 am from the surrounding hotels, and back to these hotels at 6.15 pm.
Alternative transport arrangements Participants arriving in Dar es Salaam (on other dates than 28th and 29th October, and departing on other dates than 4th and 5th November) will need to organize and pay for airport shuttle services personally.
For moving around the city, Uber is currently the best option. For taxis, most town trips range from 5000Tsh to 10,000Tsh. Avoid taking bodaboda (motorcycle riders).
ORAL PRESENTATIONSOral presentations have been allocated 20 minutes each. Chair persons will be very strict in time management, so limit your presentations to 15 minutes and allow five minutes for questions, discussions and changeover to the next presenter. Oral presenters are urged to give more time to the objectives of their studies and scientific results obtained rather than to literature review, materials and methods and/or description of the study sites.
All presentations should be handed in at the conference office a day prior to presenting in order to preload presentations thus enabling the smooth running of sessions (contacts: Blandina Lugendo ([email protected]) or Ms Tarryn Newman ([email protected]). Monday’s, 30 October 2017, oral presenters will have to hand over their presentations to the Secretariat at the venue on Sunday, 29 October 2017, from 2pm to 5pm.
POSTER PRESENTATIONSA session dedicated to poster presentations will be on Tuesday, 31st October 2017 afternoon. Posters will be displayed throughout the symposium. Presenters should hand over their posters to the poster venue technician as early as possible on Sunday, 29th October 2017 through to early Monday, 30th October 2017. Standard poster size is A0 (1189 x 841mm) and the poster board size is 3 x 2m. Each poster should contain the title, author(s) name and address of the presenter (institution, city, country). If possible, attach a passport-sized photograph of the presenter to the upper right-hand corner of the poster.
HEALTH BREAKSTwo health breaks are scheduled per day, where delegates will have time to unwind, and get refreshments. These will be held at 10:30 and at 15:30 for half an hour each.
LUNCH BREAKSLunch will be served at the symposium venue from 12:30 to 13:50 on symposium days, except on Friday when it will be served from 12:30 to 13:30.
SOCIAL FUNCTIONSOpening reception: Delegates are invited to an opening reception at JNICC. The reception will start at 19:00 on Monday 30th.
Closing reception: Delegates are invited to the closing ceremony on Thursday 2nd November at 19:00 at the Golden Tulip, Msasani Peninsula. Students and best photo award ceremony and formal closing will take place on this date.
