About MSDI

MSDI aims to an international exchange of new knowledge and achievements with regard to the fields of Marine Sciences and Innovations. It also brings together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Research in Marine Sciences. Furthermore, MSDI provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for the researchers to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Marine Sciences. Participants from all countries are welcome to participate and submit papers to the conference. 

Conference sessions along with keynotes and workshops, are highly interactive to ensure maximum exchange of information and ideas related to the topics. Such activities allow fresh feedback for researchers, as well as a crucial input for policymakers. Papers presented at the MSDI 2027 conference will be published in the Journal of Fisheries Science and Technology - Special issue. Selected papers will be published in the Journal of Earth and Environmental Science (Scopus indexed, IOP Conference Series Publisher). This event includes the participation of renowned keynote speakers, oral presentations, posters, and technical sessions related to the topics dealt with in the Program.
