This event is part of a series of workshops covering various research themes central for SciLifeLab. The topic of this workshop is Biodiversity – Autotrophy in extreme environments, and will take place at SLU in Uppsala on 8 November 2019. There will be ample time for discussion, as the aim is to stimulate collaborations.
The event is open for all researchers in the field. Welcome!
The Symposium will be held in Loftet, SLU Campus Ultuna, Uppsala. Visiting address of Loftet is Duhrevägen 8, 756 51 Uppsala.
