ISSHA auctions during past International Conferences on Harmful Algae have been a tremendous success and are becoming a tradition!! It is an opportunity for the conference participants to bid on donated items. The range of items is broad and may include books, signed reprints, photos, jewellery, T-shirts, paintings, algae-related items, liquor, and scientific equipment. The auction items are donated by ISSHA members from around the world and are used to benefit ISSHA members. Funds collected during the auction are an important income for ISSHA and may represent up to 25% of the total income of the Society. These funds have allowed for ISSHA to offer partial travel support to many students to attend previous ICHA conferences.
Barrie Dale has so far been serving as the auctioneer and provocateur, ensuring the evening has been exciting, fun filled and a bit over the top! Please help us make the 14th Conference auction a success.
We need donations for the auction and only your imagination limits what can be donated. Please contact the responsible person for the auction, Anke Kremp (anke.kremp@ymparisto.fi ) about your donations for the auction and the way you are going to transport it. Please, write “ISSHA Auction 2010” in the message subject. You may also include a picture of your item if you wish. A list of donated items will be shown in this section before the meeting in Crete.
We look forward to hearing from you!
