Satellite Workshops

The following one-day workshops will bring together scientists to share scientific advances on specific fungal species or topics:

Following the workshops, to be held at Sapienza main campus, participants can join the Welcome Reception at the Aula Magna.

The workshops will be open for registration on July 1st, 2019. Opening of a workshop may be contingent on a sufficient number of registrants. The deadline for workshop registration is February 5th, 2020.

To join a workshop: choose your workshop and proceed to the registration page to register.

The registration fee for each workshop is 80€ (excluding SW7 Reproducibility for everyone, which is for free).
For all workshops (excluding SW7 Reproducibility for everyone) the fee includes coffee breaks and a light lunch.

FUSARIUM

The purpose of this Workshop, which is traditionally planned as a yearly satellite event connected to either Asilomar or EFCG, is to gather expertise and to share current research on the genus Fusarium. The meeting will include oral contributions covering all aspects of genetics, functional genomics, host-fungal interactions, secondary metabolism, fungicide resistance, and genetic exploitation in both applied and industrial mycology. If you wish to submit an abstract to give a talk at the Fusarium workshop please follow the same procedure used for ECFG15 and the other satellite meetings.

REPRODUCIBILITY FOR EVERYONE

Reproducibility is a corner stone of science and sets is apart from pseudo-science. This workshop will introduce you to reproducible workflows and a range of tools, from method sharing websites, to basic data management ideas and open access repositories. This will help you share work with colleagues more effectively and allow others to build on what you have done. This workshop is supported by eLife, protocols.io, Addgene, and the Mozilla Science Foundation.
