|
|
|
On behalf of the Peroxidase 2008 national and international organising committees, we warmly invite all scientists to attend the 8th International Peroxidase Symposium to be held in connection with the XVI Congress of the Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology (FESPB) to be held in Tampere, Finland on 20-23 August 2008. Our aim is to arrange a Congress that is following the traditions set by earlier Peroxidase symposia: the meeting should not only be of high scientific standard, but also a socially memorable event for all participants – so come and enjoy the science, meet your colleagues and friends and take the opportunity to establish new fruitful collaborations.
