ASIAME 3

Aim of the workshop

The general objective of the two weeks programme on thematic school ASIAME3 is to bring together young environmentalists (students and scientists) from South Asia and South-East Asia working in the field of the microbial ecology of marine ecosystems focusing on both fundamental (biogeochemical cycles, biodiversity, environment) and applied (aquaculture, marine biotechnologies) aspects. This school mixes conferences, practical training, and data analysis. It also includes preparation of research projects and future collaborations. 

Two ASIAME workshops have been previously organized:

• ASIAME 1 - 2013 - Vietnam

• ASIAME 2 - 2017 - India

Workshop format.

The official language will be English. ASIAME 3 will combine during two weeks four important components: 

• lectures

• practical training

• oral presentations

• bibliographic review. 

We hope this cocktail will stimulate creativity of scientists from all over Asia. A detailed schedule is provided on this site
