1st Macaronesia Marine Biology and Technology Symposium

The 1st Macaronesia Marine Biology and Technology Symposium (19th and 20th March 2026 Ocean Science Center Mindelo, Cabo Verde), hosted by the EU TWILIGHTED Project, brought together leading researchers to share advances in deep sea biology and technology across the Macaronesia region. The symposium provided a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and innovation, highlighting the role of partnership in science in addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable development.

Annual Conference of the Association for General and Applied Microbiology from 22-25 March 2026 • Berlin, Germany

The Association for General and Applied Microbiology (VAAM) is delighted to invite you to Berlin for the annual conference 2026

Understanding Life: Using Largescale Biodiversity Reference Genomes

This conference will bring together researchers using these new genome resources to share discoveries, explore best practice in analysis and plan future synergies and collaborations in biodiversity genomics. The focus will be on deploying cutting-edge analytic toolkits suitable for the new data and on analysis at scale. We will showcase how these new genomes enhance our understanding of ecology and evolution, and how they drive advances in biotechnology.

Oct 27-29, 2025, Wellcome Genome Campus, UK and Virtual

GRC Animal Microbe Symbioses 2025

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Animal-Microbe Symbioses" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC.

June 15 - 20, 2025, Portland, Maine, United States

CRC 1182 Symposium on Cellular Underpinnings in Host-Microbe Crosstalk

Host-microbe interactions are often studied at molecular or organismal levels, but the intricate dynamics at the cellular interface remain underexplored. Yet, host cells and their surfaces serve as key sites for the initial contact, adhesion, and selection of microbes, playing a central role in maintaining homeostasis in metaorganisms.
