We look forward to welcoming you to the 2014 ASBS meeting at the Massey University campus in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Our theme for the meeting will be ‘Next-generation Systematics’ which includes approaching systematics from different perspectives, the use of new technologies, and even training the next generation of practicing systematists. We look forward to diverse presentations of projects from Australasia and around the world. ... [Information of the supplier]
Caryophyllales 2015 is an international conference focusing on the order Caryophyllales, attracting researcher specialised in e.g. the systematics, evolution and biogeography of this lineage of flowering plants. Besides bringing together the latest research developments, the conference will foment the Caryophyllales Network, which aims at joining forces for the elaboration of a global monographic synthesis of the order. Currently, about 50 scientists from more than 20 countries are expected to attend the meeting. ... [Information of the supplier]
Grasses feed the world and grasslands cover 20-40% of the planet. The grass family is one of the largest families of flowering plants with around 12,000 species. Grasses are more important for mankind than any other group of plants. Grasses have small flowering parts and complex floral morphology which is usually studied by dedicated specialists. Derek Clayton has been building a classification system for the grass family during his 56 years at Kew Gardens. He wrote the classic account Genera Graminum and went on to invent the world’s first electronic Flora and e-taxonomic system, GrassBase. GrassBase is a unique dataset of structured trait data maintained in the DELTA software system which is not supported on modern computers. Can GrassBase contribute to modern analyses and will it have use for future generations? How can grass trait data be mobilised? What are the possible connections between the study of grass diversity and other scientific disciplines? This meeting will bring together the global community of grass taxonomists to say thank you to Derek. The program will begin by exploring history and Gren Lucas, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, followed by Steve Renvoize, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, will speak about Derek’s work. Rob Soreng from the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, will describe the recent advances in grass systematics and his work on the Catalogue of New World Grasses. Elizabeth Kellogg from the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, Missouri, will introduce Poaceae crop genomics and outline how the study of crops has helped us understand grass evolution. During the second part of the meeting we will explore the research uses of grass trait data and the significance of grass diversity for research into ecology, C4 photosynthesis, and breeding better crops. Confirmed speakers include Professor Peter Linder, University of Zurich, and Professor Colin Osborne, University of Sheffield. The meeting will conclude with presentations on descriptive taxonomic systems online and Maria Vorontsova, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, will lead a discussion about the future for GrassBase. ...

It is our pleasure to invite you to the 1st Congress of Baltic Microbiologists (CBM 2012), which will take place in Riga on 31 October – 4 November, 2012. The Congress will be organized by the Latvian Society for Microbiology with the support from Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS). The aim of the Congress is to bring together professionals working in Microbiology from the countries of the Baltic Sea region. It is expected to provide the participants with a complete overview on the main directions of Microbiological studies in the Baltic countries. The Congress will be a unique platform for researchers to present their latest findings and to learn about recent achievements of their colleagues. It is intended to facilitate cooperation and teamwork among scientists from different countries of the region. We believe that the 1st Congress will be an important event in the research and professional activities of microbiologists and that it will contribute to the development of Microbiology in the region. We hope that these Congresses will continue regularly. ... [Information of the supplier]
The 5th Congress of European Microbiologists (FEMS) will be held in the interesting city of Leipzig from July 21-25, 2013. FEMS brings together 46 member societies from 36 European countries, including over thirty thousand microbiologists. This important microbiology Congress will provide an interesting forum for thousands of European and other international colleagues to appreciate the current state of the art in microbiology during numerous symposia and workshops led by prominent scientists in their field. The meeting will be a chance to discuss solutions to future challenges and to provide topical coverage of key disciplines. ... [Information of the supplier]

The study of regulatory RNAs in the control of prokaryotic genomes has become a very active and rapidly growing field. New small and large noncoding RNA molecules continue to be discovered at a staggering rate in bacterial model organisms as well as in the transcriptomes of bacterial communities. Newly discovered structural and functional aspects of such RNAs have reached a degree of breadth that requires a meeting with a strong focus on bacterial RNA research to fully address the diversity of these new regulators of gene expression and bring together the scientists involved in these studies. Regulating with RNA in Bacteria was the first conference dedicated to this topic and premiered a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge advances and the latest perspectives in the areas of discovery, mechanisms and structure of bacterial riboregulators. This conference is the successor of two well-received previous meetings that were held in Berlin (2009) and San Juan (2011), and will be co-sponsored by DFG Program SPP1258 on Sensory and regulatory RNA in prokaryotes. We believe that the topic will attract many researchers from abroad and expect up to 250 participants. Aside from lectures by a number of international experts there will be additional oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts. There also will be sufficient time and space for poster presentations. Sessions will include small regulatory RNAs, riboswitches and RNA thermometers, RNA binding proteins, RNA structure, RNA localization & processing, CRISP/CASS, and RNA bioinformatics. ...

The 6th Congress of European Microbiologists (FEMS 2015) is one of the leading meetings of its kind and will connect approximately 3,000 microbiologists from 46 societies in 34 countries. The Congress will feature symposia and workshops led by prominent scientists in their respective fields. The goal of this essential international gathering is to provide a comprehensive forum for the exploration and discussion of various topics in medical microbiology. Key disciplines including molecular approaches, biodiversity, bioremediation, eukaryotic microbes, virology and others will be examined in order to advance our understanding of current and future challenges. FEMS 2015 will be held 7-11 June 2015 in Maastricht, one of the oldest yet vibrant cities in the Netherlands. ... [Information of the supplier]
