CBE 7

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - POSTPONEMENT

7th International Symposium on Chemosynthesis-Based Ecosystems (CBE7)
Planned for 23-28 August 2020, Brazil

Dear Lovers of Chemosynthesis-Related Science,

The CBE7 Local Organizing Committee would like to inform you that CBE7 is postponed in light of the global Coronavirus situation. The Committee has considered the local São Paulo and Brazilian health advice as well as the global response to the pandemic.

We apologize for the inconvenience to all participants, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors, but the current global situation has made this decision inevitable. Despite the delay, we remain committed to holding CBE7 at a future date, most probably in the first quarter of 2021, preserving scientific topics as much as possible, as well as our wonderful team of Scientific Committee and plenary speakers.

Our team is working hard on rescheduling plans, and is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. We will inform our CBE community and post updates on the website as soon as we confirm the dates and details for CBE7 - 2021.

For participants who already submitted abstracts: We will restart the abstracts submission process again for CBE7. So please, hold your abstracts, refine them, and resubmit them after the rescheduled CBE7 date is announced and submission pages reopen.

For participants who already registered: We hope that most of you will be able to attend CBE7 in 2021. Your registration fees can be carried forward for CBE7 2021, or fully reimbursed. Please contact cbe7brazil@gmail.com for more information.

Let's stay safe, healthy and virtually united in these challenging times!

ATÉ BREVE!

Organizing Committee,

Camila Signori, Cristina Nakayama, Maurício Shimabukuro, Paulo Sumida & Vivian Pellizari
