Meetings, conferences, symposia, and workshops from around the world related to diatoms are posted here. Contact us to include your event.
The aim of the Congress is to bring together all botanists involved in research of plant life of the Balkan Peninsula with emphasis on the conservation of biodiversity of this extremely rich flora and vegetation. The original 26th diatom symposium in Yamagata, planned for 2020, will be held there in 2023. Stay tuned for more information. The Lomonosov Moscow State University and the K.A. Timiryazev Institute of Plant Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences invites diatomists to take part in the VI All-Russian Scientific Conference with international participation “ALGAE: ISSUES ON TAXONOMY AND ECOLOGY, MONITORING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY APPROACHES”. The meeting will take place at the S.N. Skadovskiy Zvenigorod Biological Station, M.V. Lomonosov MSU, Moscow, Russia, from September 12-18th, 2022. The meeting covers all aspects of diatom research and the Conference Proceedings will be published in the journal “Issues of Modern Algology” http://www.algology.ru/1202. Further information and the conference application form is available on the website https://mycol-algol.ru/conference.html and from the conference organizer at algology2022@mail.ru. The deadline for submission of the conference application form is the 1st February 2022. Applicants will be sent the second circular on 1st March 2022 with detailed information about the conference. The Italian Geological Society (SGI) and the Italian Society of Mineralogy and Petrology (SIMP) invite you to attend the Joint Congress entitled Geosciences for a sustainable future, which will be held in Turin from the 19th to 21th of September 2022. The Congress consists of three days, with Scientific sessions that focus on the main Geosciences themes and include plenary conferences of international scholars, round tables, forums, and workshops on topics of significant geological-social impact and major issues of public interest. Interesting sessions: European Diatom Meeting – Website Coming soon. Dates to be determined. The theme of the congress is “a Mediterranean perspective on Quaternary Sciences” since the Mediterranean region, so geologically young and active, is the ideal place where to discuss the processes and events that shaped the landscape, the environment and the ecosystems in the last 2.58 million years. From the glacial systems in the Alps to the desert facing the southern shore, from the large coastal plains and deltas to the rocky coasts where the mountain ranges reach the sea, from the karst to the lacustrine to the volcanic environments, almost all of the Quaternary features are present in the region. The 14th European Diatom Meeting will take place at Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia, has been postponed to 2024. Lake Ohrid, a deep and ancient lake of tectonic origin, is a unique refuge for numerous endemic and relict freshwater species of fauna and flora, and the town of Ohrid is one of the oldest settlements in Europe and a major cultural centre. The main topics of the meeting will be climate change and paleoecology, biomonitoring, evolution, phylogeny, systematics, taxonomy, biogeography, ecology, and diatom applications.

The 20th was scheduled to take place in 2023 in Brazil after Shenzhen’s (China) 2017. Unfortunately, the difficult situation caused by the worldwide pandemic has made impossible to organize this big event in Brazil in 2023. Kind regards,Fechas importantes

• Congress, 21–27 July 2024
Rooted in the tradition of Systematic Botany, the IBCs have enlarged their scope over more than a century to become an integrated forum for knowledge on the plant and mycological world. Please take a look at the broad scope of topics that we hope to include in this upcoming IBC in this site.
The Congress will include plenary lectures, concurrent symposia ―for which we will ask for proposals in Spring 2022—, posters, exhibitors, as well as short courses and workshops.
We wholeheartedly invite all the botanical community worldwide to come to participate in the 20th IBC and enjoy, in Madrid, the privilege of sharing research, knowledge and experiences with colleagues and friends from all over the planet. We will make efforts to provide the best environment for such a thrilling experience.
A suite of post-meeting excursions will be offered for attendees to visit places of botanical and cultural interest. See the preliminary list in this site.
We look forward to seeing you all in Madrid in July 2024.
The Organizing Committee of the 20th IBC
