8th International Congress on Extremophiles

12-16 September 2010
São Miguel, Azores, Portugal

On behalf of the Organizing Committees and the International Society of Extremophiles it is my great pleasure to invite you to participate in the Extremophiles 2010  which will be held in Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, Azores.

This will be the 8th in the series of International Congresses on Extremophiles, which started in 1996 in Estoril, a memorable meeting for many of us.

This conference will provide an international forum to appreciate the current state of the art of Extremophiles and to discuss how science in this field can contribute to finding solutions to the challenges we face in the future. To this end, we are inviting the most prominent scientists in their field to join us at the Extremophiles 2010.

Loc ated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the Azores Islands provide an ideal venue, combining a beautiful and peaceful environment with the opportunity to visit sites with extreme conditions. This will be a great opportunity to meet friends and colleagues, to launch new collaborations and to enjoy the social programme we prepared for you.

See you in the Azores
