| Summary |
The International Conference on Mycorrhiza met for the last time in Canada in 2003 in Montréal (ICOM4), which led to the founding of the International Mycorrhiza Society by Canadian researchers a few years later. Now, a quarter of a century later, the time has come to welcome ICOM back to Canada. The last 25 years have also seen the onset of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss that threaten a sustainable future. ICOM2028 will focus on the role of mycorrhiza in addressing these global environmental issues, while paying tribute to the great names of Canadian mycorrhizal research in the vibrant city of Québec. |
