We at SGD are happy to share this announcement from the organizers of ICYGMB 2015. We’ll keep you up to date on the latest news about the conference and important deadlines. You can also follow announcements on Twitter by searching for the hashtag #yeast2015.
It is our great pleasure to announce the 27th International Conference on Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology (ICYGMB) to be held in Levico Terme, Trento, Italy, from 6th to 12th September 2015.
The conference, initially scheduled to take place in Lviv, was moved to the heart of the Italian Alps, following the assessment of the political situation in Ukraine, and is now being co-organized by the Italian and the Ukrainian Scientific Committees under the auspices of the International Committee on Finances and Policy, together with the help of some international scientific societies such FEMS and EMBO.
The goal of the conference is to bring together investigators from around the world to present and discuss research focused on yeasts as model for the understanding of molecular biology and genetic processes, and as a paramount biotechnological microorganism.
The Conference is historically an exciting forum on yeast biology, on our web site, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the scientific program and the beautiful scenery of this magnificent part of Italy where the Conference venue is located. In addition to the exceptional selection of speakers, we kept the opportunity, for brilliant researchers, to present their most recent work, since the fourth speaker of every plenary session will be selected from the abstracts submitted to the poster sessions. The science, the surroundings, and, of course, the food will be in the best tradition of Italian professional hospitality.
The conference is also part of EXPO2015, the world exposition that will be hosted in Italy in 2015 in Milano, comprising events in every Italian region. This year, the theme is to feed the planet, and we are committed to divulge to the public the importance of yeast in food and beverage productions. For this reason, the conference will be followed by a one-day EXPO2015 Symposium on Yeast Ecology and Food Production as well as on the fundamental role of the microscopic world in nutrition and human health (12th September 2015), together with a Roundtable on science as nurturer of peace. The registration to the 27th ICYGMB Conference will also include the participation to these extra events that will take place at the Museum of Modern Art of Rovereto, Italy.
Join us in this lovely part of the Trentino Region, in Italy, from 6th to 12th of September 2015 for this unique international event!
Help us spread the news by word of mouth and circulate the announcement you find here because for some colleagues we may not have had the updated e-mail address in our database.
Good science, food and location are waiting to make this a most memorable yeast Conference.
Yours sincerely,
Duccio Cavalieri & Andriy Sibirniy (ICYGMB Organisers),
