The Course was held at Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples, Italy, 4-24 October 2015.

The Course was organized by the Stazione Zoologica in cooperation with the Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and the IOC Science and Communication Centre on Harmful Algae.

The aim of APC 11 is to increase and update the expertise of the students in the taxonomy and specific identification of diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophores and other phytoflagellates, with emphasis on light microscopy and integrating molecular data, electron microscopy and new approaches to the study of microalgae.
