The 8th International Workshop on Deep-Sea Microbiology(DSM) Xiamen, Chinae8·10 November 2024
The "8th International Workshop on Deep-Sea Microbiology" is scheduled to be held in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, from November 8 to 10, 2024. The workshop is sponsored by the Chinese Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research, and organized by the Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, the Marine Biological Resources Committee and the Deep-dive Branch of the Chinese Society for Oceanography.
Since its inception in 2008, the International Workshop on Deep Sea Microbiology has been organized biennially by experts in the field of deep-sea microbiology research. The conference has been well-received and hosted by renowned scientists and their teams from countries such as China, France, the United States, Japan, and Korean, and has a significant international impact. The workshop focuses on the frontiers of deep-sea microbiology, exploring the limits of life and metabolic mechanisms, analyzing the biogeochemical cycles in which microorganisms participate, and discussing the hot topics of deep-sea microbial resource development. The details of this conference are as follows:
