It is our great honor to invite you to virtual environment, for 9th European Congress of Malacological Societies from September 5th  to 9th 2021 organized by malacologists from Prague and Brno (Czech Republic). 9th EUROMAL, originally planned as an in-person meeting on the campus of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague (2020), was postponed (2021) and subsequently brought online due to a global pandemic. The congress will bring together experienced scientists as well as students and practitioners in malacology and related research fields from across Europe and beyond.  The recent and most important findings from the hottest topics will be presented:
