<p style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">The International Course Ecology
and Diversity of Marine Microorganisms (ECODIM XI) will be held
at the Marine Biological Station of the Department of
Oceanography of the University of Concepcion, Dichato, Chile, on
6-25 January 2020.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">The main goal of ECODIM is to
build intellectual capacity and to transfer knowledge in areas
of growing scientific interest in marine biosciences. This is
achieved by teaching concepts and providing an overview of the
fields of microbial ecology, marine genomics and diversity of
microorganisms. ECODIM brings together various aspects of
environmental, molecular and microbiological, as well as
chemical, physical and bioinformatics methodologies needed to
approach questions of biogeochemical, ecological, phylogenetic
and genomic interests.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">ECODIM 2020 will comprise field
experiences (on board R/V Kay Kay II), lectures and exercises in
the morning, guided research work in the laboratory and tutored
computer exercises in the afternoon, colloquia in the evening
and two symposium days, one by invited speakers and the other
organized by the students, in which they will show the results
of their investigations during the course. Preparatory
discussions, exercises on course subjects, introduction to
bioinformatics, computer aided thermodynamics in geochemical
processes and metabolism will be offered as exercises in small
groups. With the didactic mix between lectures and talks by
experts, workshops with tutorials and the students’ own efforts
(paper presentations, experimental design, and practical
laboratory work), participants will be introduced into topics
from the research front in microbial oceanography.</p>
