Dear participants

It isour great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 6th Korea-Japan-Taiwan International Symposium on Microbial Ecology that will be held at COEX (Seoul), Aug 24, 2014. In the same place, the 15th International Symposium on Microbial Ecology (ISME15) will be held from 24th to 29th Aug 2014.

The symposium will provide you with an opportunity to share experience and acquire new information among three countries. The symposium will also allow new friendships to be forged, those already established to be renewed, and collaborative endeavors to be kindly. Ultimately, this symposium will provide Asian scientists with a platform for leading research activities in microbial ecology and related areas. We hope that all participants from three countries will enjoy this symposium.

Since we are planning to distribute a proceeding booklet to the participants, it would be appreciated if you could send us your registration form including your personal profile and ISME15 presentation information via e-mail at msk@msk.or.kr, no later than July 11, 2014.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via e-mail msk@msk.or.kr.

Thanks again for accepting our invitation and we all look forward to meeting you soon in Korea.

Sincerely yours,

Chang-Jun Cha, PhD
