Metabolic interactions shape all kind biological ecosystems, from holobionts to planetary-scale environmental systems, and to anthropogenic, engineered environments. Their paramount importance is evident by a pervasive influence on the development, resilience, and sustainability of ecosystems.
In environmental systems, whether marine or land ones, understanding metabolic interactions is key to deciphering nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, and overall ecosystem functioning.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of these metabolic networks is crucial for advancing our comprehension of ecosystem dynamics and for informing strategies that promote ecological balance, human health, and sustainable practices across ecosystems.
By bringing together metabolic experts from diverse fields, who typically do not meet at the same conference, this meeting aims to enable the exchange of biological hypotheses and insights, as well as that of cutting-edge methodologies and analytical solutions.
The outcomes of this conference are poised to inform sustainable practices, advance research methodologies, and drive transformative advancements in the understanding and management of metabolic interactions in complex biological ecosystems.

EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials. One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name ‘Judy Eastman’ (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL’s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.

Suspicious communications purportedly from, for or on behalf of EMBL should be reported to EMBL at the following email address sponsorship@embl.de.
EMBO | EMBL Symposia promote scientific communication and collaboration in the European research area. They provide scientists with a platform to discuss and exchange ideas on forward-looking topics and new developments in the life sciences.
Topics emphasise upcoming developments and the interdisciplinary nature of related fields. Jointly funded and organised by EMBO and EMBL – and complementary to their respective courses, workshops, and conference programmes – the symposia promote scientific communication and collaboration.
All symposia are held in the EMBL Advanced Training Centre (ATC) in Heidelberg, Germany, or virtually.
