Betreff: Your participation to the 5th International Symposium on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for the 5th International Symposium on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions to be held in Orleans, France (only 1h South of Paris) from 23 to 28 August 2015 is now open !
***** This Symposium is not restricted to forest trees. People working on ornamental and fruit trees are most welcome !! *****
For those who experienced the previous editions of this Symposium, you know that they are always very interesting, very rich, not only because of the diversity of the attendees (phytopathologists, breeders, entomologists, physiologists, evolutionary biologists ...) but also because they are always organized in a way that most of the attendees have an oportunity to present their work and in a format that fosters discussions.
Also, compared to many other meetings, the registration fees are not so high. It is 600 € for early bird registration (1 April) and only 500 € for graduate students. These fees include all the meals (lunches + diners) + field tour and conference diner.
Last but not least, some of you are project leaders, group coordinators or in the process of building a project, and we have negociated some extra free meeting rooms where you will be able to gather your troops, so think seriously about this opportunity.
Now is time to think seriously about participating to this event ! There is a brand new website waiting for you with lots of information to help you organize your trip and your presentation :
https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015
Although registrations to the meeting will open 2nd of February, <https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015/Abstract-submission> online abstract registration is now open !
Please circulate this information around you and think about other colleagues or students in your lab who may be interested (think also that France still is a good place for summer holidays, either before or after the meeting !!).
