A journey into the unknown, the symposium brings together microbiologists from different fields, under overarching themes.

This colloquium is uniquely poised to highlight the bright side of the invisible realm - revealing both its extraordinary diversity and its intriguing, unexpected dimensions.

To explore these facets of the microbiological world, a panel of presentations will cover:

  • Arbuscular mycorrhiza
  • Archaea
  • Bdelloid rotifers
  • Chytridiomycosis
  • Cyanobacteria
  • Diatoms
  • Giant viruses
  • Komagataella Yeasts
  • Planctomycetota
  • Space microbiology. 

A special highlight will bridge science and creativity. We are thrilled to invite you to join the second edition in a series of conferences on the edge of Microbiology, to get a grip on these unusual Tiny Titans.
