            WELCOME AGAIN TO THE 13th CONFERENCE!

            Welcome to Montreal for ISPP2009, the 13th International Symposium on Phototrophic Prokaryotes. This is only the second time that the ISPP series finds itself in North America, and we hope that you will find Montreal, a major cultural and scientific hub of North America, a pleasant and exciting blend of Old World charm and New World vitality. One perhaps unexpected line of continuity with the previous ISPP2006 is that ISPP2009 will be held in another French speaking city! For the complete welcome message, click here.

            We have planned a series of newsletters to keep you updated on the meeting including detailed programme information, invited speakers and value-adding programme features. You should bookmark our website www.ispp2009.com and visit for frequent updates.


            Registration and abstract submission will open in October 2008.

            We look forward to receiving your abstracts and to welcoming you in Montreal!
