Underwater Acoustics International
Conference and Exhibition (UACE2023)
June 25-30, 2023 • Kalamata, Greece
Join us for a structured session on Marine Bioacoustics at the 7th Underwater Acoustics International Conference and Exhibition (UACE2023) which will take place in Kalamata, Greece from June 25-30, 2023.
Session Purpose and Scope
All applications of passive and active marine bioacoustics are welcome in this session. Presentations on marine organisms as sources, receivers, and/or scatterers will be grouped accordingly. This is a widely diverse session meant to be inclusive of all marine bioacoustics.
Submissions and Deadline
Abstracts of papers submitted to Structured Sessions shall be sent initially to the Structured Session Organizer concerned, who will review the abstract and notify the authors regarding acceptance of the abstract to be presented in the Structured Session. The template Abstract Submission Form for Structured Sessions shall be used.
After notification of acceptance has been received from the Structured Session organizer, the authors must submit their abstracts electronically to the Conference Secretariat using the online General Abstract Submission Form no later than February 15, 2023.

Peloponnese
The mountainous Peloponnese peninsula is an 'island within the mainland' surrounded by water and connected to the mainland at just two points—to the east over the Corinth Canal and over the Rion-Antirion Bridge to the north.
The area contained several cities important in antiquity such as Mycenae, Argos, Megalopolis, Sparta, Ellis, Messene, and Corinth. The region also contains the important ancient sites of Olympia (which regularly hosted Pan-Hellenic sporting games, notably the Olympic Games), Epidaurus, Isthmia and Nemea.
Why Kalamata?
Kalamata, the capital and central port of Messinia, is the second most populous city of the Peloponnese peninsula, after Patras. Kalamata is located in the heart of the Messenian gulf in southern Peloponnese, near the ancient city of Farai. The natural beauty of Messinia with the indented shores, sandy beaches, forested mountains and fertile valleys, coexists with significant archaeological monuments.
Kalamata can offer the visitor images of breathtaking landscapes. Olive groves, the azure waters of the bay, churches with traditional architecture, rural buildings and ancient castles, everything stands under the whimsical Peloponnesian light of the mainland where the old encounters the new.
Kalamata introduces the traveler its rich history in every step of the way. Its fascinating cultural heritage which is the result of multiple influences over the years dating back before the Bronze Age, is captured everywhere around the old city.
The 4 Km length city's extensive beach with crystal clear waters is ideal for swimming and all kinds of water sports. Along the seaside, there are several tavernas, ouzo restaurants, cafeterias, bars and clubs. A beach pathway leads to the conference venue.
Kalamata is near the archaeological sites of Mistras, Epidaurus and Ancient Olympia.
The UACE2023 conference is dedicated to John Papadakis’ memory who unfortunately passed away in 2022.
