British Mycological Society Annual Scientific Meeting 2023 – Fungal Interactions
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Dates: 12/09/2023-14/09/2023
Further information:
The theme of this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting is Fungal Interactions, to coincide with the launch of our new, open access journal of the same name.
Fungi are at the forefront of many world issues: food security and animal health, soil health and fertility, waste decomposition and treatment, biodeterioration, bioremediation, and biofuel production among others. Their activities directly influence ecosystem function and human wellbeing in multiple positive and negative contexts. Therefore, understanding their biology and the way they interact across natural and synthetic habitats is paramount in order to fully understand their roles and functions, and how such findings can be exploited to tackle current and future global challenges.
The three day meeting will feature talks from renowned international researchers covering an exciting and broad range of fungal interactions, including:
- Microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, protozoa, other fungi), plants and animals
- Habitats – any natural or synthetic niche, including extreme environments
- Environmental changes – including stresses, anti-fungal drugs, pollutants, climate change
- Biotechnology
We are accepting offered abstracts on the above themes.
