welcome address 

Welcome address 

Dear colleagues, 


On behalf of the Organizing Committee for Extremophiles 2012 and the 

International Society for Extremophiles (ISE) it is our great pleasure and honour to 

welcome you to the 9 th International Congress on Extremophiles. 

Following the tradition of previous congresses the programme includes a 

very broad range of topics covering different areas of research on extremophilic 

microorganisms. The programme was prepared on the basis of the proposals and 

suggestions of the International Organizing Committee and the Scientific Advisory 

Committee. We hope you agree that the selected topics and speakers are of great 

interest and exceptional quality. 

We maintained the same registration fees than in the previous congress, including 

a reduced registration fee for students in order to encourage their participation to 

the meeting. Besides, we obtained financial support from FEMS and ISE for young 

scientific grants and a total of 26 young researchers will receive financial support in 

order to attend the congress. 

The meeting programme includes six main symposia plus the opening and closing 

keynote lectures and eight offered oral parallel sessions. Besides, two poster sessions 

will group the almost 200 poster presentations. We encourage all delegates to 

participate actively on all these activities. Besides, several attractive social activities 

have been programmed. 

We would like to thank all institutions and companies that contributed to the 

organization of this congress, very specially to the University of Sevilla, the Federation 

of European Microbiological Societies and the International Society for Extremophiles. 

We hope that all delegates will enjoy during their stay in Sevilla and will found 

an excellent atmosphere to discuss about scientific matters, new collaborations and 

future directions in the field of extremophilic microorganisms and their impact on 

industrial, health, energy, astrobiology and several other areas. We also hope that 

you discover the hospitality of the people of Sevilla and have some free time for 

visiting this beautiful city. 

Welcome to Sevilla! 

Antonio Ventosa 

Chairman of the Organizing Committee

90°F) at noon and 18°C (64°F) at night. The average daily sunshine is 9 hours a day with average 

rainfall being just 24 mm over 2 days. This means that the chance of rain is extremely unlikely, and 

you can still bring light clothing.
