We are pleased to announce that our COST Action Final Open Meeting on “Understanding and exploiting the impacts of low pH on micro-organisms” will be held at TU Wien, Austria, on 18-19 September 2023.
Presentations will be delivered by action participants and invited speakers from all the areas in which the COST action has developed its activities over the years, i.e. from understanding the impacts of low pH on micro-organisms at the molecular level (WG1 and WG2), to exploiting the impacts of low pH responses in micro-organism with respect to applications in the medical (WG3), biotechnological (WG4) and food and drink (WG5) sectors.
Synergies and cross-fertilizations between these diverse research application areas will also be showcased at the meeting, as well as gaps that have been identified.
This will also be a unique opportunity to showcase your work amongst the COST action community with the EFB community, which will be meeting in the same venue on 19-21 September 2023. On Tuesday afternoon two session will be shared between the two events.
