ANNOUNCEMENT I
Dear Young Researchers,
We are delighted to invite you to participate in the 4th edition of MycoRiseUp! Youth in
Mycology Conference – a scientific conference focused on the fascinating world of fungi.
This event brings together young scientists, researchers, and enthusiasts to explore the
latest advances in the study of fungi and their important role in our environment.
The MycoRiseUp! Conference will feature keynote speakers, presentations and posters
that will cover a wide range of topics related to fungi. This is a unique opportunity for young
scientists to interact with each other and experts in the field in a non-judgmental
environment, share their research findings, and network with peers who share their passion
for fungi.
The conference will be held in the Institute of Agrophysics Polish Academy of Sciences
in Lublin between 20th and 21st of May 2023. It is co-organized by the Fungal
