Proceedings of the Fourth International The International MSc programme in Scalidophora Workshop Nematology at Ghent University was created In September 2015 the Fourth International in 1992 as “Postgraduate International Scalidophora Workshop was celebrated in Nematology Course – PINC” and sponsored Ferrol, Spain. The workshop offered a week mainly by grants offered by the Belgian to collect and discuss kinorhynchs, priapulids government to students from Developing and loriciferans, and to share novel research Countries. This course is globally unique in results. The results were communicated its kind, offering a dynamic, interactive and through 19 oral presentations during the multidisciplinary approach, attracting meeting, and in support to the workshop, students from across the world. From the start Zoologischer Anzeiger – A Journal of the majority of students were interested in Comparative Zoology offered to dedicate a plant parasitic nematodes. However, the special volume for presentations marine group of scientists at Ghent communicated at the workshop. University was internationally renowned for its expertise in taxonomy and ecology of One year later this resulted in a marine nematodes and as such the volume with eleven contributed papers programme had 2 options: the “Nematology covering taxonomy, morphology and ecology applied to Agro-ecosystems” and the of the scalidophoran taxa, plus a foreword “Nematology applied to Natural from the workshop organizer and special ecosystems”, the latter including courses as volume guest editor Fernando Pardos Systematics of free-living aquatic nematodes, (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journ Systematics of free-living terrestrial al/00445231/265).

APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP OR RENEWAL
The International Association of Meiobenthologists is a non-profit scientific society representing meiobenthologists in all aquatic disciplines. The Association is dedicated to the dissemination of information by publishing a newsletter and sponsoring a triennial International Conference. The newsletter, Psammonalia, is published in June and November-December. Membership is open to any person who actively is interested in the study of meiofauna. Annual membership dues are EU$10 (US$10) and payment for up to 3 years in advance is possible. New members will receive Psammonalia beginning with the first issue of the year joining. Additional contributions to the Bertil Swedmark Fund, used to support student attendance at the triennial conferences, is encouraged.
