This international meeting will bring together scientists, industry experts, and policymakers to explore cutting-edge research on microbial diversity, ecology, and biotechnology, with a special focus on the unique and understudied ecosystems of the Middle East—ranging from deserts and hot springs to oil-polluted soils and marine habitats.

The conference will include keynote lectures, oral and poster sessions, and networking opportunities, alongside the chance to explore Oman’s natural beauty. We especially encourage early-career scientists to participate—travel awards and low registration fees will be offered.
