Welcome
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
please be informed that the MycoKey – ISM international conference will be held from 9 to 12 November 2021, in Bari in order to avoid any overlap with conferences already scheduled in the period (RAFA).
We’re considering also the opportunity to provide the webinar mode of the conference for those participants who will not be able to join us.

We will inform you about the programme, and the new dates for abstract submission/update deadline and new registration deadline, also taking into consideration any update from your side (i.e. abstracts).
We do hope to meet you personally to further enhance our cooperation and feed our international mycotoxin community.
We will do big efforts to organize the conference in presence in Bari, by boosting networking and amplifying our promotional actions.
Thank you for your attention,

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
we would like to update you about the MycoKey- ISM international conference that we postponed from October 2020 to March 2021.
As the Covid-19 outbreak is unfortunately still affecting our countries, we need to postpone our event to the Autumn of this year, being confident that we’ll be able to meet physically.
The conference is scheduled from 2 to 5 November 2021 here in Bari. We’re considering also the opportunity to provide webinar mode of the conference for those participants who will not be able to join us.
The registrations made for the original event scheduled in March 2020 are still valid.
We will inform you about the programme, also taking into consideration any update from your side (i.e. abstracts). We do hope to meet you personally to further enhance our cooperation feeding our international mycotoxin community.
We’ll do big efforts to organize the conference in presence in Bari, by boosting networking and amplifying our promotional actions.
Thank you for your attention,

Dear Colleagues,
due to the COVID-19 emergency, we decided to hold the Final MycoKey Conference on-line, on 19-21 October 2020. It will be basically focused on presentations related to scientific results of the MycoKey Project, integrated by Keynote speakers for few selected topics. We organized a three morning meeting on line and with streaming allowing free access to everybody would like to follow the presentations. All of you are invited to join the on-line Conference freely!
Meanwhile, we have strong confidence that early next year the physical Meeting will be still possible.
The possibility of having again the chance to scientifically interact alive, to keep our networking, and share again social time together, persuaded us to confirm the physical Conference.
Moreover, an ISM conference in Europe is missing since long time, and Bari meeting will be a strong possibility to relaunch ISM networking interaction.
The physical ISM-MycoKey conference will be held from 8 to 11 March 2021, keeping same venue and basically same program and organization, with possible little changes related to key-note speakers and participants confirmation.
Looking forward to meet you at the MycoKey Conference on-line and to see in a great number in Bari next March, we thank very much you for your attention.
Best wishes
The MycoKey Coordinator and Manager Antonio. F. Logrieco and Nunzia Cito and the MycoKey Conference Scientific and Organizing Committees

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

This international Conference will be organized together with the 2nd International Forum on Mycotoxins in Animal Production and the participation of MyToolBox project under the umbrella of the International Society for Mycotoxicology (ISM).
During the conference, experts and international scientists will present the latest knowledge and researches on mycotoxin management, including the outcomes of the four years EU projects, with special focus on Europe-China dialogue.
The conference, aims to be a very important and strategic appointment for all the scientific communities, industries/companies and stakeholders, that operate in the field of the food safety, and it is based on a cross -disciplinary approach, required by the deep evolution of the whole agrifood sector. The programme of the Conference will be strongly oriented towards integrated strategies for mycotoxin minimization worldwide including topics on advances in applied research in food chain , and topics focusing on industrial and networking actions.
We look forward to welcome you in Bari, a Mediterranean bridge to the East located in the charming Apulia region. It is located on the Adriatic Sea and boasts great architecture, stunning churches, a nice seaside promenade and a very interesting historic center with narrow, winding streets and a castle on one side.
Sincerely yours,
