About the Conference
Rowett-INRA 2010 will be the 7th joint symposium on gut microbiology organized by the Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, Aberdeen, and l’Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), Theix, Clermont-Ferrand.
Originally planned as a biennial meeting of the microbiology groups of the two institutes, the conference has grown to attract 270-300 delegates, many from the US, Japan and Australasia.
The topics included in the conference embrace gut microbiology of all animals, particularly man but also farm animals, birds and fish, as well as related technologies used to study microbial ecology, genomics, metagenomic, and so on.
A few distinguished speakers are invited to give plenary lectures, but the emphasis of the meeting is to give less experienced scientists an opportunity to present their data alongside more experienced scientists. The Organising Committee thus select oral presentations from the abstracts submitted according to both the theme and the speaker’s background.
Substantial amounts of time are devoted to poster sessions and workshops, the latter which aim to discuss the latest developments in various areas related to gut microbiology. An active social programme with a Scottish flavour forms an integral part of the conference.
