About the Workshop

Bacteria form complex spatially structured adherent communities which involve physical forces, chemical gradients and cooperative cell-cell interactions. An integrated view of these processes at all scales from the single cell to mesoscale patterns and ecosystems requires microbiologists and physicists to bridge large disciplinary gaps. To this purpose, the involved scientific communities must not only establish new cross-disciplinary language but also train the next generation of scientists to these emerging challenges. This EMBO workshop aims to fulfill this ambitious goal and connect senior and junior researchers through a series of lectures, seminars and workshops that will zoom in, from single cell approaches, and out, to the ecology of complex microbial consortia.

Selection criteria

Students, post-docs, scientists and engineers from all the disciplines working in the field of microbiology will be considered. We will pay great attention to the balance of the disciplines and of the generations. Applicants will be asked to submit a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, and up to two letters of recommendation through the workshop website. The subsequent selection, performed by the scientific organizing committee, will emphasize the following criteria: motivation, track records of participants and their labs and most importantly diversity of expertise as judged by their research projects focusing on aspects covered by the workshops. Individuals planning to implement experiments or initiate collaborations across the disciplinary ground covered by the workshop will have special attention. The global aim of the workshop is to create cross interactions between disciplines.

Abstract guidelines

Abstract should be limited to 1500 characters and present the scientific background as well as the ongoing projects of the candidate. The candidates should emphasize their reasons to attend the meeting, what they hope to take from it and how they will contribute to bridge the various fields covered by the meeting.

Poster specifications

Information coming soon.

Any other registration information

Applicants will be asked to submit a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, and up to two letters of recommendation through the registration system.

Travel grants and registration fee waivers

A limited number of travel grants and registration fee waivers are available for participants.

Applicants do not need to apply separately for these but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered.

Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizers. More information is available on the EMBO Travel Grants' page.

Special travel grants and registration fee waivers

A limited number of travel grants and registration fee waivers are available for scientists working in Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia and Turkey. Grants are allocated on the basis of the quality of the submitted abstract.

Venue

Accommodation

L’institut d’Etudes Scientifiques de Cargèse (IESC) is a conférence center run by the University of Corsica, the University of Nice and CNRS. The Institute housing facilities on site include 26 double rooms, a studio and a villa (for 2-6 persons). Three rooms are fully accessible to persons with reduced mobility.

Participants are often also lodged in the village of Cargèse, in studios and three-bedroom apartments. The village is directly accessible from the Institute by a charming 20-minute walk.

Transport

The closest airport to the conference site is Ajaccio Napoléon on Bonaparte airport (AJA), 50 km south of Cargèse.

It is also possible to take a boat from Marseille (company Corsica Linea and La Méridionale) or Toulon or Nice (company Corsica Ferries) and reach Ajaccio by sea.

Cargèse can be reached from Ajaccio by car or by bus. For more info, click here.
