The Conference has been mainly devoted to the problem of algal and cyanobacterial mass development and its management prospects. Rich collection of current scientific information coming from 10 countries (Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Turkey) and presented during the Conference includes results of research con- cerning: 1/ cyanobacterial water blooms and cyanotoxins in historical context; 2/ cyanobacterial genetics, ecophysiology and influence on other organisms; 3/different aspects of cyanobacterial bloom control from cell to ecosystem and catchment level; 4/ mass development of other algae (chlorophytes, chrysophytes, euglenophytes and raphidophytes) as well as ecology and biogeography of algae living in various habitats (fresh- and marine waters, rocks, soils) from sub-polar to tropical zones; 5/ different aspects of phytoplankton functioning in aquatic systems; 6/ response of algae to anthro- pogenic impact (heavy metals, acidification, organic pollution) and 7/ algae in biotech- nology. Out of 93 contributions submitted, 32 will be in the form of oral presentations and 61 displayed as posters. We plan to publish a part of contributions in an international journal Limnological Review. During the conference, 119 participants will have an opportunity to learn new tech- niques in modern microscopy, genetics and ecotoxicology provided by sponsors: Precop- tic Co., Polygen Sp.z o.o.; and Tigret Sp. z o.o. We are pleased to inform that our Conference is organized with Lublin City as a formal Partner under the honour auspices of Mayor dr Krzysztof Żuk on the occasion of the 700 Anniversary of Lublin and Rector of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin prof. dr hab. Zygmunt Litwi ńczuk. On behalf of the Organizing Committee we would like to wish you satisfaction from both social and scientific events as well as fruitful discussions stimulating new research ideas.
