The spring meeting of the two Dutch Microbiological Societies (NVMM & NVvM) will be held on April 20 and 21, 2010 in Papendal. The central theme of the plenary Tuesday-morning session is “Microbes: friend or foe”. Within this theme several renowned national and international speakers will highlight examples of situations where microbes are beneficial for people or the environment, but also situations where microbes are extremely harmful. Of course there are examples where either the distinction is not obvious or where there is a balance between these two situations. All this illustrates how we have coexisted with microbes over the course of evolution and how these relationships between host/environment and microbes have led to a complex and intricate coexistence.
After the plenary session the Kiemprijs will be awarded to young investigators. As last year more prices will be awarded, both from NVMM and NVvM, so even You can be awarded. Below, you will find more information on the prizes.
After lunch, we continue in 7 parallel sessions for the remainder of the meeting. Here microbiologists throughout the Netherlands will present their exciting data. As in other years the poster session will be on Tuesday evening with free drinks and of course followed by the party.
To enhance the standing of our meeting we have invited more national and international speakers then before. You will find these prominent speakers not only in the plenary session but also in various sessions throughout the meeting. To make the meeting more interesting for young scientists, the Stichting Antonie van Leeuwenhoek will again pay both the admission fee as well as the hotel costs of presenting PhD students.
We hope to see you all in Papendal and look forward to an exciting and inspiring meeting and share new data and insight in Microbiology in all its aspects.
