The online conference of biologists was devoted to approaches and methods of complex research on water bodies and was timed to the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Karelia.
The seminar was organized by a group of scientists from Vologda State University and the Institute of Lake Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Saint-Petersburg).
The seminar focused on the discussion of modern approaches to complex hydrobiological research. Stefanie Heinze, representative of the Federal Agency for nature protection from Germany, noted the importance of this direction for the development of an ecosystem approach to wildlife conservation in an address to the participants of the seminar.
The format of the event, which was originally planned as a face-to-face meeting in Vologda, was changed to a remote form.
