Ecological immunology workshop 2020: evolution of resistance, tolerance &<br>
symbionts, 24-28 Aug 2020<br>
<br>
We are happy to announce a meeting that we’re organising from 24-28 Aug 2020:<br>
Ecological immunology workshop 2020: resistance, tolerance & symbionts<br>
to be held at Kloster Lehnin, close to Berlin, Germany.<br>
<br>
The meeting is the next instalment in a loose series of workshops on<br>
ecological & evolutionary immunology / insect immunity, that started in<br>
2001 in Sheffield, the most recent one being in Blossin (close to Berlin)<br>
in 2017. These meetings bring together researchers with different<br>
backgrounds but with a shared interest in immunity and host-microbe<br>
interactions with a focus on insects, and where we encourage the<br>
presentation of unpublished results.<br>
<br>
The hallmark of these workshops, is the open atmosphere fostering free<br>
exchange by keeping it an affordable, small conference (~85 participants).<br>
The format consists of invited speakers, contributed talks and a dedicated<br>
poster session. Long breaks provide plenty of opportunity for informal<br>
exchange. Past workshops have initiated new collaborations and ideas<br>
focusing on frontier research that has not been published.<br>
<br>
The premises are basic but in a beautiful location conducive to the<br>
success of the meeting. We will be located at a lakeside, which at this<br>
time of the year offers great swimming and canoeing, and a small private<br>
bar at the harbour.<br>
