International Congress of Aerobiology September 2014

Congress Chair Welcome

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to attend this historic congress on Aerobiology. 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of the International Association of Aerobiology and we will mark this important birthday with a gala dinner on the foreshores of beautiful Sydney Harbour.

The 10th ICA is also the first to be held in Australia and we hope that it will be a platform to showcase progress in aerobiological research within our country and throughout the Asia Pacific region. An innovative scientific program will promote collaborations between basic scientists, aerobiologists, environmentalists and clinicians as together we face the inevitable challenges posed by climate change.

Please register your interest in the 10th ICA today and plan to come and participate by proposing topics for discussion, submitting abstracts and bringing colleagues to Sydney. 

We look forward to welcoming you "Down Under" in September 2014!

Prof CH Katelaris
10th ICA Congress Chair.
