The European Coral Reef Symposium (ECRS)  is held every four years and hosted in European countries on a rotation basis by the European Chapter of the International Coral Reef Society (ICRS).

ECRS 2024 will be held in Naples, Italy at the Città della Scienza and at the Anton Dohrn Zoological Station.

The theme is bridging knowledge gaps between tropical, temperate and cold water coral reefs.

The symposium will bring together coral reef scientists, researchers, conservationists, policymakers and reef managers to present the latest research findings and exchange knowledge critical to advising international and national policies in the conservation and sustainable use of coral reefs.
