Conference organization: ENFC and MMM 2012

We organized and hosted the 10th European Nitrogen Fixation Conference (ENFC) and the 1st Molecular Mycorrhiza Meeting (MMM) in September 2012 at the Biocenter in Munich.

02.09.2012 – 07.09.2012

logo_enfc2012The 10th European Nitrogen Fixation Congress (ENFC) was held in Munich, Germany from the 2nd to the 5th of September 2012. This biennial congress series traditionally brings together scientists from Europe and all over the world interested in biological nitrogen fixation and related fields.
The 10th ENFC started with a satellite meeting on “Genomics of Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria”. In addition, two satellite events were organized for 6th/7th September: the “13th Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes”, focussing on the interaction of diazotrophic bacteria with practically most relevant Gramineae and the 1st “Molecular Mycorrhiza Meeting” (MMM). The MMM was the first event of a series initiated to satisfy the growing demand for a specialized scientific meeting covering the molecular genetic aspects of mycorrhiza. This combination of events provided unique platforms to share and discuss latest scientific news on nitrogen fixation and the molecular interaction between plants and symbiotic microorganisms.
