With great pleasure we announce the upcoming Food System Microbiomes 2024 International Conference! This new conference addressed microbiomes across the food system and will take place in beautiful Torino, Italy, from 14-17 May 2024. Link to conference website.
The Food System Microbiomes 2024 International Conference is organized as part of the newly founded MicrobiomeSupport Association, a follow-up of the Coordination and Support Action MicrobiomeSupport. We aim to further increase the awareness of food system microbiomes across different stakeholder groups, and this scientific conference is one of the planned activities of the new association.
On 14th - 15th May 2024 there has been a COS-EMBL workshop taking place in Heidelberg, Germany.
It is tailord to young scientists seeking dialogue with other experts in the field of Microbiomes related to plants and to explore the latest in plant biotic interactions research and its ecosystem impacts.
