Plastid Preview 2016, September in Edinburgh - a conference for early 
career researcher


Dear all,

I would like to warmly invite UK/EU researchers to attend The Plastid 
Preview meeting in Edinburgh this year.

This meeting is a great opportunity for UK/EU PhD students and young 
researchers working in any area of plastid biology to meet and foster 
networks with other young
and senior scientists.

The two-day conference is FREE TO ATTEND and is aimed at specifically 
attracting early career researchers to present their work.

Last year's meeting hosted by Prof. Christine Raines at the University 
of Essex was particularly relevant for current hot topics such as food 
security and biotechnology, and highlighted the exciting progress 
currently being
made in engineering plants for enhanced photosynthesis and microalgae 
for producing high value products. Similarly, new research informing our 
fundamental understanding of plastid biology was presented, including 
novel research of the dark and the light reactions of photosynthesis and 
the involvement of circadian rhythms. A further highlight of that 
meeting was the conference dinner - a good evening was had by all as 
scientific discussions continued into the small hours. Overall, the 
conference was very well received by both senior and young attendees. We 
aim to build on last
year's success!

This Plastid Preview will be held at the ECCI in the University of 
Edinburgh
on 19th-20th September:

19th September: 1.00pm - 5.00pm followed by Conference Dinner
20th September: 9.00am - 4.30pm

Free accommodation will be provided for the night of 19th September.

Please do register for this event. Further details and a full event
programme will follow soon.

Registration closes on the 15th July.

Best regards,
Alistair McCormick
