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
