State of the World's Fungi Symposium Copy Research
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Join scientists and policymakers for our first ever two-day symposium on the State of the World's Fungi. 13 &14 September 2018.
In conjunction with the publication of a cutting-edge annual report, scientists and policymakers will gather at Kew for the first international State of the World's Fungi Symposium.
Building on the success of our State of The World’s Plants project, the State of the World’s Fungi report provides a review of our current state of knowledge and the major issues affecting fungal diversity and abundance. Also featured in the report are fungal-plant interactions, conservation and uses of fungi, and the fungal tree of life.
The two-day symposium brings together plant and fungal scientists, ecologists, conservationists and industry and policy experts from around the world, to discuss issues raised in the report.
The symposium will be based around seven topical questions, with each session comprising talks from invited experts followed by a panel Q&A to discuss the emerging issues:
- Conservation of fungi: what, why, where and how?
- Does all plant life depend on fungi?
- And have you forgotten the lichens?
- Do fungi provide a greater ecosystem service or disservice?
- Fungal networking – who benefits?
- Panning for gold in the mould: where do we find commercial value in fungi?
- Exploring the dark taxa: when does a molecular signature become a species?
Other highlights of the programme include:
- Poster session and drinks reception – 13 September 2018
- Symposium dinner (optional) – 13 September 2018

13th International Meeting Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases (MEEGID XIII) Research
Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp

It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 13th International Meeting Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases (MEEGID XIII), held at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium, on the 11th – 13th of May 2016
Join us at the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp for MEEGID XIII, the leading conference on the molecular evolution of all pathogens: viruses, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, parasites and prions. Special emphasis (through plenary lectures, express debates and symposia) will be given to health problems of specific interest to the present world including: Ebola; tuberculosis; AIDS; malaria; cancer and infectious diseases.
Plenary lectures and symposia will also deal with transversal topics such as population genetics, evolution, speciation, bioinformatics, whole genome sequencing analysis and omic analyses. Together, the MEEGID congress series and its companion journal, Infection, Genetics and Evolution represent a unique forum for cross-fertilization between evolutionary science in the broad sense and biomedical research on infectious diseases.
Attending this conference will enable you to access unique, high-quality content, learn about the latest developments in infectious diseases and epidemiology research from experts in the field, present your latest research to your peers and network with an interdisciplinary group from around the world - including academics and researchers, as well as health and industry professionals.
Conference Topics:
Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 January 2016
Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on the following topics. They should be submitted using the online abstract submission system.
Genetics, population genetics, genomics, proteomics, molecular epidemiology (strain typing), population biology, mathematical modelling and bioinformatics. Submissions can deal with the host (humans, wild and domestic animals, plants, the pathogen, or the vector in case of vector-borne diseases.
Host + pathogen or pathogen + vector, or pathogen + vector + host (co-evolution)
All pathogens, including: viruses; parasitic protozoa; helminthes; fungal organisms and prions
All infectious models, including those of veterinary or agronomical relevance
Cancer and infectious diseases.
Transmissible diseases and evolution of mankind.
Selected papers communicated in the framework of MEEGID XIII will be published after peer-review in a special issue of Infection, Genetics and Evolution.
During the conference, awards will be attributed to the best communication, the best communication by a student, the best communication by a scientist from the Southern World and the best poster communication. Each prizewinner will be offered a free 2-year subscription to Infection, Genetics and Evolution.
