1st BIOLAWEB Workshop: “Metabarcoding of diatoms and phytoplankton for biomonitoring”

On behalf of the BIOLAWEB consortium, we have the pleasure and honor of inviting you to the first workshop “Metabarcoding of diatoms and phytoplankton for biomonitoring”, which will be a hybrid event, taking place at UB-ICTM and online, from March 29–31, 2023.

Lecturers from a leading EU institution, the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE, France), Dr Clarisse Lemonnier, Dr Frédéric Rimet, Dr Agnès Bouchez, and Dr Benjamin Alric will give lectures focused on DNA metabarcoding applied to diatoms and phytoplankton for biomonitoring.

We are cordially inviting scientists, students, and interested stakeholders to participate in this hybrid event where they will have a great opportunity to discuss state-of-the-art research in the field of DNA metabarcoding with our visiting experts from the BIOLAWEB project consortium.

Preliminary program:

Day 1 – Introduction to metabarcoding and Diatom Metabarcoding (I part)

Day 2 - Diatom Metabarcoding (II part) and Phytoplankton Metabarcoding (I part)

Day 3 - Phytoplankton Metabarcoding (II part)

A detailed program will be sent to registered participants subsequently.

The number of places for on-site attendance is limited. Registration for both ways of attendance is free and required.

Please register at https://forms.gle/fgQVow1ArGDkB71k6 until February 28th.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions: biolaweb2021@gmail.com

We look forward to welcoming you!

BIOLAWEB project presented in RTS' Educational-Scientific Program

The project coordinator, Dr. Miloš Ćirić, spoke for the national media outlet RTS' Educational-Scientific Program. He presented the BIOLAWEB project to introduce the community to its importance for monitoring the condition of water ecosystems in Serbia. During the BIOLWEB project's lifetime, ICTM scientists and other interested parties will gain valuable knowledge in biomonitoring with the help of reputable scientific institutions from France and Norway. Moreover, throughout joint research, biomonitoring methods will be further developed to be used in the future in Serbia and worldwide.
