Welcome to the website of the Finnish Phytoplankton Society!

The Finnish Phytoplankton Society was founded in 2007. The society organises training courses twice a year. The purpose of the society is:

  • to promote and maintain knowledge of phytoplankton species
  • to develop methods for phytoplankton analysis
  • to develop and maintain cooperation between national and foreign phytoplankton experts.

The society also organises benthic diatom education and diatom experts are welcome to join the society to develop diatom knowledge in Finland.
