We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Second International CRC 973 Symposium “Bridging Ecology and Molecular Biology: Organismic Responses to Recurring Stress” to be held in Berlin (Germany) from April 09-11, 2018. This symposium is organised by the Collaborative Research Centre 973 “Priming and Memory of Organismic Responses to Stress”.

April 9 - 11, 2018

in Berlin, Germany

Lecture hall of the Botanic Garden and Museum

Königin-Luise-Str. 6-8, 14195 Berlin

This symposium brings together international scientists and students of different disciplines that range from microbial and plant ecology to plant biochemistry and molecular biology of plants and microorganisms.
