A few words about the 3rd Summer School of MIKROBIOKOSMOS
The Hellenic Scientific Society of MIKROBIOKOSMOS was founded in 2008 and it is now considered the podium and niche of environmental microbiologists, food microbiologists, bioengineers, environmental biotechnologists in Greece. Following up the 2nd Summer School in 2022, we organized the 3rd Summer School of the Society of Mikrobiokosmos in the frame of a series of Training Events devoted to the training of the young members of the Society. The students attended lectures on biodegradation, N microbial cycling, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and soil ecotoxicology given by experts from Academia and Industry.
Venue: The Summer School was hosted in the Conference and Culture Centre of the Monastery Paou, Argalasti Pelion (http://mpaou.uth.gr/en/), which belongs to the University of Thessaly.
