On October 15–16, 2025, the Institute of Biochemical Technologies, Ecology and Pharmacy of the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University will hold a scientific conference in Simferopol dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the M. I. Globenko Zoological Museum.
It is planned to discuss issues of taxonomy, faunistics, zoogeography and biology of animals, fundamental and applied hydrobiological research, the role of zoological museums in science and education. The program of the event includes plenary, sectional and poster presentations, round tables (first day), excursions and a banquet (second day).
Before the start of the conference, abstracts of the reports will be published, based on the results, in the form of articles in the “Scientific Notes of the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University.

Papers for publication in a peer-reviewed journal will be selected based on the results of review by independent experts and assessment of their significance (scientific novelty) by the Editorial Board of the journal. Authors will need to provide an extended version of the manuscript, formatted in accordance with the rules of the journal.
The following sections are planned to work:
1. Fundamental zoology (taxonomy, faunistics, zoogeography, ecology and biology of animals).
2. Applied zoology (aquaculture, mariculture, aquarium keeping, terrarium keeping, vermiculture, hunting, etc.).
3. Hydrobiology.
4. Museum science (museum studies, taxidermy, formation and use of stock collections in research).
The set of sections may be adjusted based on the number and topics of reports. Round tables are also planned to discuss significant and topical issues in zoology. If you want to organize a round table on a particular topic, please indicate your proposals in the conference application.
Participation in the conference is in person. The report can be oral or poster. Participation without a report (as a listener) is possible. A program and a collection of abstracts will be prepared for the conference. The volume of abstracts of one report is 1000-2000 characters. The registration fee for a conference participant is 2000 rubles. It includes the cost of publishing abstracts of one report, regardless of the number of authors, and receiving one participant package with one author's copy of the conference materials.
