Ice-binding proteins (IBPs), a unifying name for antifreeze proteins, recrystallization inhibition proteins, and ice nucleating proteins, are found in organisms living in cold ecosystems where ice can be present. Organisms from many branches of the tree of life use IBPs to avoid the harmful consequences of freezing by several strategies such as preventing freezing or tolerating it. IBPs and other materials that interact with ice are the focus of the seminar series that will bring together the scientific community for discourse on the latest findings in scientific and technological aspects addressing IBPs and related materials, their mechanism of operation, and their use in cryobiology, food, medical, and other applications in which ice growth control is desirable. The seminars are an opportunity to create research collaborations and share ideas between groups all over the world who have interests in different aspects of IBPs and related materials.
