On 4-8 May, scientists from NRC Laboratory of Algology and Microbial Ecology, Dr. Judita Koreivienė, Dr. Jūratė Kasperovičienė, Dr. Jūratė Karosienė, and Dr. Ričardas Paškauskas, participated in the 13th International Conference on Toxic Cyanobacteria held in Chania, Crete, Greece. More information is available at: https://ictc13.gr/).
This conference is a major global event bringing together scientists, researchers and environmental experts working on the ecology of cyanobacteria, biosynthesis of cyanotoxins, their impact on the environment and human health, as well as pursuing molecular and biochemical research. NRC scientists presented their latest research results, shared their experiences with the international community and increased knowledge on the dynamics of these micro-organisms in the context of climate change. They also took part in COST Action CYANOACTION working group discussions on the project’s deliverables.
Such conferences are not only an opportunity to share knowledge and start new international collaborations, but also to inspire new ideas.
