The Plant Microbiome Symposium will provide an exciting meeting ground for scientists with diverse backgrounds in microbial ecology, plant-microbe interactions, molecular biology, chemistry and bioinformatics.

The meeting in Amsterdam will consist of five sessions – spermosphere, rhizosphere, phyllosphere, endosphere, emerging topics - covering the most important aspects of plant microbiome research. The meeting will be relatively small with a maximum of around 200 participants, allowing ample time for discussions and interactions.

  • Matthieu Barret, INRA Angers, France
  • Gabriele Berg, Technical University of Graz, Austria
  • Michael Bonkowski, University of Cologne, Germany
  • Harro Bouwmeester, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
  • Marcel van der Heijden, University of Zurich, Switzerland
