„Boden will Leben!" ist das Motto einer neuen landesweiten Umwelt-Kampagne, die sich in den nächsten Jahren für einen verantwortungsvolleren und nachhaltigen Umgang mit dem Boden einsetzt. Mit jährlichen Bodenaktionswochen, einer Ausstellung und weiteren Informationsangeboten soll besonders auf die Bedeutung des Bodens als Lebensraum aufmerksam gemacht werden. ...

Auf Basis des BOKU-Leitbildes tragen wir zur Entwicklung von Systemen einer flächendeckenden nachhaltigen und ökologischen Landbewirtschaftung bei. Diese Systeme haben zum Ziel, Lebensmittel, erneuerbare Stoffe und Energie bereitstellen, ohne die Befriedigung der Bedürfnisse künftiger Generationen zu beeinträchtigen. Charakteristisch dafür sind optimale Boden- und Pflanzengesundheit, Tiergerechtheit und Biodiversität, sowie effiziente Energieflüsse und Stoffkreisläufe und eine maximale Mitwelt-Verträglichkeit. Daraus resultieren als Ziele eine hohe ökonomische und ökologische Leistungsfähigkeit, optimale Produktqualität, Beiträge zu ländlichen Entwicklungsprozessen sowie zur regionalen und globalen Armutsreduktion und Ernährungssicherheit. Unter Beachtung der verschiedenen Dimensionen nachhaltiger Entwicklung legen wir Wert darauf, dass unterschiedliche wissenschaftliche Zugänge (Interdisziplinarität) und der Informationsaustausch mit anderen gesellschaftlichen Gruppen (Transdisziplinarität) zur Zielerreichung beitragen. ...

Mit dem Projekt "Ökologische Pilzkartierung 2000" hat die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Mykologie eine neue Ära der Bestandserfassung von Großpilzen eingeläutet. Die bisherige chorologische Kartierung, deren Erbgebnisse mit 4 Millionen Fundpunkten vom ehemaligen Vorsitzenden der DGfM, German Krieglsteiner, in 18jähriger mühevoller Kleinarbeit in Form der 2 Bände des "Verbreitungsatlas der Großpilze Deutschlands" verewigt wurden, wird von dem neuen Projekt keineswegs abgelöst. Vielmehr ist die "Kartierung 2000" als Erweiterung der rein chorologischen Kartierung zu verstehen. Die Computerunterstützung mit dem PC-Programm "Ökologische Pilzkartierung 2000" macht es möglich, Funddaten rasch auszuwerten und zu verwalten. So erwartet die DGfM bei gleicher Aktivität der Mitarbeiter eine Verfünfzehnfachung der Datenmenge. [Deutsche Gesellschaft für Mykologie] ... [Sonstige Quelle laut Angabe]
Microorganisms are a key component of the Earth’s biosphere, and microbial communication – whether between microbes, with higher organisms or with the environment – is an important driver of the Earth system. Our annual International Conference on Microbial Communication (MiCom) for students aims to generate new understanding of these interactions and their many consequences from molecular to global scales. MiCom is organized and hosted each year by PhD students from the Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC). We cordially invite you to join us for our 3rd year of discussion and interdisciplinary collaboration with a growing international community of young scientists. Both talks and poster presentations are welcome. We hope to see you there! ... [Information of the supplier]
We neither see nor hear them in our everyday life, but the inhabitants of the microbial world are constantly in communication. This invisible world houses various types of diverse interactions. MiCom aims to provide a platform to present and share knowledge about the latest research on a variety of themes encompassing microbial interactions. The conference focuses on both symbiotic and pathogenic microbial together with their natural habitat and the molecules involved in the interactions as well as the recent tools used in such research. The Jena School of Microbial Communication and the MiCom 2014 Organising Team would be pleased to welcome you in 2014 to discuss the latest news from the microbial world. ...

New discoveries about the unexpected lifestyles of aquatic microbial eukaryotes (protists) are advancing rapidly through the targeted exploration of cultured isolates and whole communities using molecular sequencing and imaging techniques in concert with evolutionary theory and geochemical analysis. Three major contributions to microeukaryote biology, ecology, and evolution that are catapulting the field forward are the Marine Microbial Eukaryote Transcriptome Sequencing Project (MMETSP), the Tara Oceans Expeditions, and the Malaspina Expedition. Although these three efforts focused on marine organisms, they have provided an unprecedented wealth of new data to the broader protist ecology, evolution, biogeochemistry, and model system research communities. Moreover, these efforts are enabling development of new concepts about the interactions of protists with viruses, bacteria, and archaea. The goal of the symposium is to increase the impact of the new knowledge generated from these unique datasets and to foster new collaborations among aquatic microbial ecologists, evolutionary biologists, oceanographers, limnologists, cell and molecular biologists, geneticists, and more. The objective is also to address “What questions can we now ask because of the completion of the marine field campaigns and with the arrival of new technologies, methods, and concepts from all corners of the biological sciences?” ...

Dear participants of the Annual Conference 2015 of the Association for General and Applied Microbiology, I am pleased to meet you again a decade after the last Annual Conference took place here in Jena. And I am also pleased to welcome you again to our city! A city which not only inspired numerous philosophers, writers and entrepreneurs but which also became a home for many microbiologists. In recent decades, Jena with its university and other scientific institutions has evolved as a major player in microbial research. This success has been made possible especially by the cooperative working atmosphere extending across the disciplinary and institutional boundaries. Microbiologists, physicians, chemists, bioinformaticians, physicists, photonic scientists and other professionals coming together to work on a common problem are one example. Significant collaborative projects involving this year’s organizers – the University of Jena and the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology – Hans Knöll Institute (HKI) – give testimony to this seminal cooperation: As an umbrella organization the Excellence Graduate School Jena School for Microbial Communication combines many scientific activities in the field of microbial communication and links them to an ambitious microbiological training. And at the Leibniz ScienceCampus InfectoOptics, for example, chemists, physicists and microbiologists are working together to develop new optical technologies for the detection and treatment of infections. The research campus InfectoGnostics also unites microbiologists with photonic scientists to develop novel ways to diagnose infections. The Collaborative Research Centre / Transregio “FungiNet” furthermore brings together microbiologists, physicians and bioinformaticians from Jena with their fellows from Würzburg. The scientists explore the complex mechanisms of fungal infections and generate new therapeutic options through a systems biology approach. In this regard, I also want to mention the consortium “InfectControl 2020” where scientists and entrepreneurs from all over Germany work together on new strategies for infection control and prevention. Within the Collaborative Research Centre “ChemBioSys” we examine how the composition of species and the interrelations of individual organisms of one or more species are regulated by natural products.Here in Jena, you will find a lively and - particularly important - collegial and friendly environment! I wish you an insightful Annual Conference 2016 with many good discussions and conversations! ... [Information of the supplier]
