This will be the second time when a tardigrade conference is held in Poland. The last Polish meeting took place in 1977, also in Kraków.

The Symposium was originally planned for 2021, but - due to the COVID-19 pandemic - it has been postponed to 2022.

Stay tuned for announcements that will be published in the News section of the Tardigrada Newsletter and circulated via the Tardigrada Newsletter Mailing List (if you haven't joined the TN List yet, you can do it here).
