Scientific Programme

The Congress scientific Programme will comprise plenary sessions with lectures by invited speakers, oral presentations, poster sessions and special interest meetings.

It has been the intention of the Organizing Committee to include in the programme the possibility of organizing workshops on topics such as teaching of Mycology, special groups in systematics, a bank of "supply and demand" for jobs and scholarships in mycology, among others. The implementation of these initiatives will depend on the express adhesion of participants who are interested in them. The consultation will be launched with the presentation of the Congress program.
