Invitation

We would like to welcome you to the Joint Meeting of Japanese Environmental Microbiology-related Associations 2014, which will be held in Hamamatsu (the second biggest city in Shizuoka, Japan) from 21-24 October 2014, hosted by Japanese Society of Microbial Ecology, Japanese Society of Soil Microbiology, and Japan Society for Environmental Biotechnology.
This is the first joint meeting of the three societies and we expect this meeting to provide a deeper understanding of the accumulated knowledge of environmental ecology, microbiology, and biotechnology.
Finally, we welcome you all again to the exciting joint meeting in the beautiful city of Hamamatsu, and to the beautiful fall season of Japan.
