Bursaries for 5 PhD students for ICN Congress in Antibes
The Seventh International Congress of Nematology will occur 1-6 May 2022 at the Palais des Congrès in Antibes Juan-Les-Pins (France).
The theme of the congress will be: “Crossing borders: a world of nematode diversity and impact to discover”, a timely subject as we reconcile the importance of agricultural production with that of environmental conservation.
Registration for the Seventh International Congress of Nematology is currently six hundred and eighty-two nematologists from 57 countries, including 100 student and early career scientist bursary recipients. The scientific program comprises 32 concurrent sessions with 288 oral presentations, 12 workshops, 12 keynote speakers, and poster sessions with more than 500 presentations.
Recipients of the bursaries will either present a poster or give an oral presentation during the congress.
