The Sixth International Symposium on Molecular Insect Science is the first of the series to be held outside of the USA. Previous Symposia, organized by the University of Arizona’s Center for Insect Science, have been met with great enthusiasm. By holding this in Amsterdam, in collaboration with Elsevier, it is hoped that the meeting will be even more accessible to scientists and their students in Europe, in the New World, Asia, Australasia, and elsewhere.

We welcome poster and abstract submissions on the following topics:

Genomics and Proteomics
Arthropod Evolution and Development
Neurobiology
(Antagonistic and Symbiotic) Interactions
Toxicology and Insecticide Resistance
Immunity
Endocrinology
Chemical Ecology and Behaviour
Pest Control Biotechnology
Drug Discovery
