Israel's Microbial Ecology Meeting

Microbes driving
ecosystem functioning:

From Interactions
To Global Environmental Challenges

April 26-28 2021 Online Meeting via Zoom 09:30-13:30 (GMT+3)

Welcome to the MicroEco 2021 conference!

“It’s clear to me that if you wiped all multicellular life-forms off the face of the Earth, microbial life might shift a tiny bit, if microbial life were to disappear, that would be it - instant death for the planet.” Carl Woese

Microbial metabolism and interactions support all life forms on Earth. A holistic view of the ecology of microorganisms in different environmental realms is essential to create a path for a sustainable future. In this meeting we will discuss fundamental aspects of microbial life in nature and ways to develop potential solutions for environmental problems.

For this aim, we invited a repertoire of great scientists from diverse fields of microbial ecology to get a wide perspective of microbial life. Moreover, representatives from the Israel Society of Ecology and Environmental Sciences (ISEES) will participate and shed light on the process of science-based environmental decision-making in Israel.

Join us for this unique gathering of the vibrant microbial ecology research community in Israel!
