Thursday Post Conference Workshops

Do you encounter new species in your role but have struggled with the international rules and regulations for naming them? Join us for a workshop on how to name new species of fungi, bacteria, or virus, led by some of the world’s top taxonomists, including Dr. Cathie Aime and Dr Fiona Constable.

In this interactive session, you’ll learn:

·         The essential rules and guidelines for naming new species under international codes of nomenclature.

·         How to ensure your species name is valid, useful, and compliant with the code.

·         Case studies from recent discoveries of fungi, bacteria, and viruses.

·         Practical considerations for publishing new species names in scientific literature.

Whether you’re a researcher, student, or diagnostician, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and tools to contribute to species discovery.
