Scope
Adaptation of pathogens to their environment,
considering the environment in its broader sense
as every niche in which bacteria have to survive,
is a complex issue of undisputed relevance for
fields such as ecology, biotechnology, crop
protection or biomedicine. This relevance is
evidenced by the growing number of reports
dealing with bacterial adaptation to different
niches. This springs from two fundamental
aspects, communication and competition
between bacteria sharing the same environment,
and how the outcome of these behaviours
shapes bacterial communities. This workshop
aims at bringing together the complementary
aspects of the molecular mechanisms leading
to bacterial adaptation and communication in
various hosts, among which plants and humans.
It will also represent a unique chance to gather
different scientific communities which hardly
ever meet.
Format of the Workshop
The workshop will bring together 17 speakers
and a maximum of 33-35 participants, to form a
group of around 50 people. The scientific
programme will start in the morning of Monday,
October 26th, and will end around noon on
Wednesday, October 28th. Ample time for
informal discussion will be reserved. Participants
will be invited to present a poster.
Venue of the Workshop
The workshop will be held in Baeza, at the
“Campus Antonio Machado”, a XVII century
building turned into a Conference Centre of the
Universidad Internacional de Andalucía (UNIA).
This Seat includes a recently restored residence,
where participants will be accommodated. Baeza
is a World Historic Heritage town, renowned for
its Renaissance and Gothic buildings.
