CyanoMeta Workshop 3 - Brno

The workshop begins on June 19th, exclusively for registered participants. On June 20th, we open our doors to the public, offering three captivating lectures on the topic of cyanobacteria and their impact.

Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous photosynthetic microorganisms naturally occurring in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. However, their excessive growth can lead to severe environmental issues. As global climate change and anthropogenic activities impact aquatic ecosystems, the occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms is likely to increase.
The project aims to boost scientific expertise in the V4 region by advancing research on cyanobacteria, fostering collaboration, and transferring knowledge to future scientists to address regional challenges effectively.
