Symposium “Fungi – the forgotten component of metaorganisms”
Hosted by the CRC 1182, Kiel Life Science, Kiel Plant Center and SymbNET at the Maritim Hotel in Kiel, “Fungi – the forgotten component of metaorganisms” is designed to be a small and focused meeting including experts and colleagues from different disciplines of research including medical mycology, plant pathology, and fungal genetics. The aim of this symposium, jointly organised by Prof. Eva Stukenbrock and Prof. Thomas Bosch, is to share our experiences and knowledge across discipline boundaries and discuss how together we can better explore the role of fungi in animal and plant metaorganisms systems. The program includes keynote talks by experts studying the diversity, function and communication of fungi in diverse host systems, as well as group discussions, a poster session and an evening get-together. Talks will also be selected from submitted abstracts after submission deadline.
