President's update
Phil Hugenholtz - ISME President
As we say goodbye to 2022, we want to reflect on the successful ISME18 conference in Lausanne. We thank the Lausanne LOC, conference chair Christof Holliger, and everyone who participated and contributed to its success. It was wonderful to be able to come together in person again and experience the high quality of talks and discussions.
Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that ISME19 will be held in Cape Town in 2024. The ISME Executive team and Cape Town LOC have already started to prepare the program. We hope to see all of you there and continue to build and strengthen the microbial ecology community.
