A FAPESP, com âmbito do projeto Biota-FAPESP, convida para o Simpósio Internacional:

Thinking Big About Small Beings: Recent Advances On Microbial Diversity, Ecology And Biodiscovery

Ciclo de Conferência 2013: Bioma Caatinga

O objetivo deste Simpósio é fornecer apresentações e debates com a comunidade científica brasileira sobre os mais recentes avanços da pesquisa da diversidade microbiana, ecologia e Biodiscovery, para forjar o interesse sobre a importância e novas estratégias para a pesquisa em microbiologia e ciências afins, bem como discutir o futuro da pesquisa em microbiologia e áreas afins, com o objetivo de estimular a colaboração entre pesquisadores brasileiros e internacionais.
Língua oficial: Inglês
Dias 28, 29 e 30 de abril
