Mycology autumn meeting
25-11-2022
van 10:00 tot 17:30
On Friday 25th of November the LIVE autumn meeting of the section Mycology will be held at the Westerdijk Institute in Utrecht starting at 10.00.
The meeting is entitled: “We will meet again: Fungi and the world around them.”
A variety of subjects is covered by excellent speakers ranging from fungal stress, mycorrhiza, genome structure, plant-infecting Oomycetes and brain-invading fungi in insects!
Lunch will be free! Registration helps us to estimate how many lunches we need to order. To register, send an email to j.dijksterhuis@wi.knaw.nl
