During the symposium, both oral and poster presentations will take place. Each of them should include an emphasis on the possible applications (i.e. molecule of interest, biofuels, wastewater treatment, etc.).
Participants should submit extended abstract of maximum three pages, which will be reviewed by a scientific committee composed of experimented scientists in the microalgal field. A MS word template is available here. For more details about abstract submission, see the submission section of this website.
Target group
The symposium is restricted to young scientists in the field of algae biotechnology:
- MSc students.
- PhD students.
- Postdocs which are in their first four years of their postdoctoral research.
- Young researchers who are under 35.
Themes
- Genomic approaches: environmental adaptation, evolution, genomics and genetic engineering.
- Physiological approaches: metabolism, photosynthesis, physiology.
- Culture processes: strains selections, growth strategies and operating conditions, auto/mixo/heterotrophy, induction of stress and metabolic responses, mixed ecosystems.
- Downstream processing: from lab-scale to industrial scale, photobioreactor and algae pond design, harvesting and extraction techniques, life-cycle analysis.
- ...
Modelling studies are welcome for submission.
Program
A temporary program is available here.
Attendance to YAS 2014 & Alg'n'Chem 2014
If you wish, you can attend to the two conferences (Alg'n'Chem 2014 (31st March to 3rd April 2014) and YAS 2014 (3-5 April 2014)). A special discount of around 50€ will be made in this case.
Disclosure of extended abstracts
Submitted abstract will be reviewed by scientists in the field of microalgae. Accepted abstract will be given to all YAS2014 attendees on a USB key, in PDF format. A book of abstract containing the short abstract section of the extended abstracts will be printed and given as well to all attendees of the conference.
Registration fees
Registration fees will be less than 200€ for YAS2014. The price includes coffee breaks, lunches, a gala dinner, transport from Montpellier to Narbonne the 03rd of April and a welcome package bag.
