When: 30th and 31st August 2023
Registration fee: Euro 70 (covering coffee breaks and lunch)
To register, just please select the registration fee "17th Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes" in the online form available at https://www.enfc2023.org/index.php/registration-info
It is also possible to register just after the main conference ENFC 2023 registration procedure.
Organizers: Barbara Reinhold-Hurek, Euan James
Description:
The field of nitrogen fixation in association with non-nodulating plants gains increasing interest from the perspective of more sustainable agricultural practices for the future. The Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes addresses these topics. It was held alternating as a single conference (as last year in Foz do Iguacu, Brazil), or as a satellite meeting to the ENFC. We are happy to include presentations from group leaders, from postdocs or from graduate students. There will be invited speakers and speakers selected from abstracts (topic: Other nitrogen-fixing and mycorrhizal symbioses). There will also be a poster session.
If you would like to attend the meeting, please register via the conference website.
