Conferences
So far, TRR 174 organized two large conferences that greatly contributed to making the consortium known in the scientific community and to putting Germany on the map as a meeting location in the field of bacterial cell biology.
April 7-11, 2019
International Conference "Cell Biology of Prokaryotes"
International Conference "Cell Biology of Prokaryotes"
In April 2019, TRR 174 organized its main conference, a 4.5-day international meeting on the “Cell Biology of Prokaryotes”, which took place at Banz Abbey (Bad Staffelstein, Germany) and was organized by a joint effort of all members of the consortium, including doctoral researchers, postdocs and PIs. It featured a line-up of 22 international speakers and two internal speakers that covered the whole breadth of the field, from cell biology over biological physics to synthetic biology. The program also included a number of short-talks and two long poster sessions, thus offering early-career researchers the chance to present their work to the scientific community. Ample time was also allotted to afternoon activities to facilitate informal discussions and networking. In total, this meeting attracted more than 180 participants that represented a considerable part of the international bacterial cell biology community. It thus reached its goal to present the research conducted within TRR 174 to a wide scientific audience and put Germany on the map as a conference location in the field of prokaroytic cell biology.

March 14-16, 2018
International Conference "Spatiotemporal Organization of Bacterial Cells"
International Conference "Spatiotemporal Organization of Bacterial Cells"
In March 2018, TRR 174 held a 2.5-day conference on the “Spatiotemporal Organization of Bacterial Cells” in Marburg. This international conference focused on the molecular mechanisms that underlie the spatiotemporal organization of fundamental cellular processes in bacteria. It covered a wide range of topics, including

2018
Nov 11-13
|
Conference
“3rd VAAM Discussion Meeting on Microbial Cell Biology” Rauischholzhausen, Germany |
This international workshop provided a platform for the presentation and discussion of latest cell biological research.

Young Investigator Symposium
“World of Microbiology” Marburg, Germany |
This international symposium covered new developments in the field of bacterial cell biology. It offered selected late-stage postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to present their work to the scientific community. In addition, the speakers were provided with information about funding opportunities for junior research groups in Germany that would allow them to establish their own group within TRR 174.
