Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation Society I am
pleased to invite you to the 14th International Symposium on Biodeterioration
and Biodegradation (IBBS-14) to be held in S. Alessio Siculo (ME, Italy) in October
6th to the 11th 2008.
The IBBS-14 Symposium is dedicated to different topics dealing with
biodeterioration and biodegradation of organic and inorganic materials including
cultural heritage objects, medical devices, corrosion of metals and other
applied aspects such as hydrocarbons and pollutants biodegradation and
techniques applied to the study of microorganisms involved in these processes.
It takes place every three years, assembling scientists from different parts of
the World.
It is the first time this Symposium has been organized in Italy: and Sicily is a
wonderful place to stay combining the scientific aspect of the Symposium with the
unique landscape, typical Sicilian food and works of art of different epoques
(from prehistorique to modern time). Attendants of this Symposium will enjoy all
these aspects.
The IBBS-14 scientific presentations, the poster discussion and workshops are
located close to each other in a resort village and will allow close contact
among the participants to discuss their own experience in addition to the
scientific sessions.
Different Topics will be raised during
the symposium.
We hope this meeting will be a very important event in which many of you will
participate.
Clara Urzi,
Chairperson of the IBBS-14 S. Alessio Siculo (Messina) 2008
