The organiser of the 17th ECM receiving a carabid beetle sculpture at the 16th ECM closing ceremony in 2013 in Prague (Pavel Saska at the left and Lucija Šerić Jelaska at the right side of the photo). The sculpture is work of Tale Vermeulen from the Netherland and was handed to the ECM organisers in 2009, at the 14th ECM in Netherland. Carabus arvensis was used as a model. The above side is made of copper and the rest of the zinc. The sculpture will be handed to the next organiser in Primošten, Croatia.

See you in Primošten!

Cheers,
