ISMOS 11, 14-17 June 2027
Join the 11th International Symposium on Applied Microbiology and Molecular Biology in Oil Systems (ISMOS 11) in Bergen, Norway from 14-17 June 2027.
ISMOS is the largest event discussing microbiology and molecular biology in the energy industry. ISMOS is multidisciplinary, linking chemists, geologists, engineers and molecular microbiologists, and will include a mixture of high profile speakers from both industry and academia. The symposia will present the major industrial problems caused by microbes, (e.g. souring, bio corrosion) as well as beneficial activities (e.g. MEOR, upgrading).
The main focus of the meeting will be to understand how molecular and microbiological tools can be used to address these issues.
The conference will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and students to discuss the latest advances in applied microbiology across energy and industrial systems.
