The following satellite meetings are being offered before the start of the Congress on Sunday, July 13. Participation requires pre-registration and an applicable registration fee.
11th International Powdery Mildew Workshop
Sunday, 13 July | 8:00 AM - 2:30 PM
Ticket: $39 (37€) Add to Registration
The satellite meeting is meant to bring together scientists with an interest in studying powdery mildew and other similar diseases caused by biotrophic fungal pathogens. The meeting intends to serve as a platform to exchange and discuss current/new research methods/strategies and recent findings, and to identify new research directions regarding all aspects of interactions of plants with powdery mildew fungi. The scope of research for this satellite meeting covers fungal genomics and mechanisms of fungal pathogenicity as well as plant resistance/susceptibility. The satellite meeting is therefore of potential interest to a broad audience, ranging from basic to applied science.
Building Careers in MPMI through Effective Mentoring
Sunday, 13 July | 12:30 PM - 2:45 PM
Ticket: $10 (10€) Add to Registration
Mentorship provides enormous support and guidance in building successful careers for mentees. The MPMI Assistant Features Editors (AFEs) aim to provide a platform for other IS-MPMI early career attendees to learn and gain insight into the power of mentorship in shaping careers. Attendees will hear talks from early- and mid-career professionals who will share stories on the influence of good mentors in shaping their careers and how to choose a potential mentor, as well as share their mentoring styles and how different mentoring strategies can be suited to different situations. Attendees will then participate in small group discussions on how they can develop good mentoring relationships to foster their personal growth and career development.
