What to expect? The CE IUSSI conference (March 19 – 21, 2019) is a biannual meeting that brings together researchers interested in the ecology and evolution of social insects. Invited speakers will be Nathalie Stroeymeyt, University of Lausanne; Adria LeBoeuf, Weizmann Institute of Science; Lukas Schrader, University of Münster and Marla Spivak, University of Minnesota. Ample of opportunity will be given to PhD students and postdocs to present their work as both oral or poster presentations. We will visit the Natural History Museum of Vienna that offers us a “behind the scenes” tour.
The Social Immunity workshop (March 22, 2019) will introduce the concept of collective disease defense in social insects, show methods for the study of disease and insect immunity, and give hands-on insight into experimental work of ant-pathogen interactions. It is aimed at the PhD and postdoctoral level and will involve discussion rounds and a visit to the social immunity laboratory at IST Austria.
