more to be announced

The topic Microbial logistics: exploring the role of dispersion networks on microbial activities in the environment is currently linked to other subjects including the role of microorganisms on the remediation of unsaturated polluted environments such as soil, which is a biotechnological area that can generate future research possibilities for PhD students.

Besides the presentations prepared by the key note speaker and the organizers, the participants are expected to discuss and present relevant articles on the topic, or alternatively present their research topic when it is associated with the global topic of the activity.

The satellite symposium will precede the SME 2013 meeting which  is intended in particular for PhD students and young post-docs.
