WELCOME

Dear all

Due to the galloping evolution of the COVID-19 and making use of the most updated epidemiological information available, the International and the Local Organizing Committee of the 11th EWBC are announcing the decision to hold the event online on 7th – 9th September 2020. The main objective of this decision is to ensure the safety of participants and speakers.

For those of you who already registered in the meeting, we would inform you that you do not need to register again. At the moment we are reevaluating the global budget of the event and including the fees.

Registrations will reopen soon, as well as abstract submission (until the end of the month).
In a few days, we will give you more details about the online event.
We apologize for the inconvenience but we are doing the best under the circumstances.

The Local Organizing Committee

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to participate in the European Workshop on the Biology of Cyanobacteria.
The 11th EWBC will be held on 7-9 September, 2020.

This meeting will be an excellent opportunity to present and discuss the scientific advances in our research field, this time with a broader theme to promote more interaction within the cyanobacterial community, and will include the following sessions:

I. Evolution and Phylogeny
II. Ecology and Interactions with the Environment
III. Gene Regulation
IV. Physiology and Cell Biology
V. Bioenergetics
VI. Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology

In addition, it provides an opportunity to visit our charming city, that was elected the best European Destination for 3 times in the last years.

 

Looking forward to welcoming you in Porto,
On behalf of the local organizing committee
