Scientific Programme EcotoxicoMic 2024

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing and the Scientific Committees, I am pleased to invite you to participate in EcotoxicoMic 2024. EcotoxicoMic was established as a leading bi-annual international conference in microbial ecotoxicology in the last decade. After the first three editions, organized in 2017 in Lyon (France), in 2020 in virtual format, and in 2022 in Montpellier (France), the 4th EcotoxicoMic conference in 2024 will be held in Gothenburg (Sweden).

The conference's overall aim is to provide an up-to-date state-of-the-art in microbial ecotoxicology and pinpoint emerging issues and areas of research where future efforts are needed, considering all types of microorganisms, including prokaryotes and microeukaryotes.

EcotoxicoMic 2024 will bring together enthusiasts and expert scientists from various disciplines (microbial ecotoxicology, environmental microbiology, environmental chemistry, antimicrobial resistance, risk assessment, and big data), in a highly interactive environment.

The scientific program will cover presentations from i nvited speakers and presentations selected from submitted abstracts. There will be ample opportunities to present posters.

The scope of the topics that EcotoxicoMic 2024 will address includes four regular sessions:

- Impact of contaminants on microbial diversity and function
- Microbial roles in contaminant fate and bioremediation
- Microorganisms as a tool for environmental risk assessment
- Antimicrobials resistance in the environment

And two special sessions:

- Microbiome-aware ecotoxicology of animals
- Occurrence, properties, fate, and microbial ecotoxicity of natural toxins

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Gothenburg in November 2024!

Yours sincerely,

Assoc. Prof. Natàlia Corcoll, Conference Chair

Senior lecturer, Dept Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Gothenburg
