[Christian Wild]

Increasing equity, inclusion, and diversity at the upcoming 15th ICRS  
2022 in Bremen, Germany, is a top priority for the International Coral  
Reef Society and the Organizers of the 15th ICRS 2022 at University of  
Bremen.

  Earlier this year, we offered free registration to all ICRS member  
virtual presenters from low, low-middle, and upper-middle income  
coutries.  We are happy to announce that we are now extending FREE  
REGISTRATION FOR ALL VIRTUAL _NON-PRESENTING_ ICRS MEMBERS CURRENTLY  
EMPLOYED AND RESIDING IN LOW, LOWER-MIDDLE, AND UPPER-MIDDLE INCOME  
ECONOMY COUNTRIES (as defined by the World Bank[1]).

Qualified applicants will be granted free registration for the virtual  
platform and archive of ICRS 2022. Qualified applicants must be  
current members of the International Coral Reef Society and be  
employed/enrolled by/in an institution or organization in a qualifying  
country.
   
  If you are not already an ICRS Member, you can join online here[2].  
The cost of membership is scaled according to your country of  
residence and student/non-student status.
   
  To apply, please send your proof of current ICRS membership and  
current work/home address in an E-mail to  
icrs2022.online at uni-bremen.de[3] BY 31 MAY 2022.
   
  You will then receive a link to register yourself ONLINE for ICRS  
2022 VIRTUAL AT NO COSTS.
We look forward to your active contribution to an exciting and  
inclusive 15th ICRS 2022!
