Welcome to the IMS International Mycorrhiza Society!
The IMS is a unique international scientific society involved in the advancement of education, research and development in the area of mycorrhizal symbiosis between plants and specialized soil fungi.
With the International Conference on Mycorrhiza (ICOM) as the official conference of IMS, members of IMS will profit from an international forum that provides up to date distribution of valuable information concerning scientific and industrial developments throughout the world.
Your participation in the development of the society will make IMS a major force for improvements in our agriculture, horticulture and forestry.
Dear all,
it is our pleasure to invite you to the 12th International Conference on Mycorrhizas (ICOM 12) that will take place from Sunday 4th to Friday 9th August 2024 at Manchester, UK!
The theme of ICOM12 is “Bridging gaps in form, function and diversity”. Alongside showcasing some of the most exciting and cutting-edge mycorrhizal research, we will address this theme through conversation, culture, gastronomy, and fun.
We now open workshop submission and abstract submission – see more information HERE.
