Organizers of the 6th International Conference on Polar and Alpine Microbiology announce a call for early registration and abstract submission. The conference will be held 6-10 September 2015 in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic.
This meeting will be a continuation of the highly successful meetings previously held in Rovaniemi 2004 (Finland), Innsbruck 2006 (Austria), Banff 2008 (Canada), Ljubljana 2011 (Slovenia), and Big Sky 2013 (USA). The conference will bring together the scientific community for discourse on the latest in all aspects of cold-living microorganisms and their role in polar and alpine environments. The 2015 conference will again provide an opportunity to share ideas and build research collaborations addressing the latest developments in microbiology in polar and alpine habitats.
We welcome submissions for oral and poster presentations that fit any of the conference topics:
- Polar/alpine microbiology and environmental change: past, present and future
- Microbial diversity and evolution
- Cold physiology and cryobiology
- Supraglacial, glacial and subglacial microbiology
- Polar/alpine cyanobacteria
- Biotechnology in low temperatures
- Astrobiology of icy worlds
The deadline for abstract submission and early registration is 1 May 2015.
