8-12 July 2019, Cadarache, France
The first EU-Korea MTB Workshop was hosted by the CEA in Caderache France. The aim of the workshop was to increase the interaction between the Korean and European research communities on magneto-tactic bacteria. The workshop had a public part with invited talks by leading researchers in the field, and a closed project part to prepare for project proposals, in particular in the framework of the NST Cluster Project.

The workshop will be held in the Chateau de Cadarache, owned by CEA. The castle is an excellent venue for an efficient workshop, with good locations for presentations, group meetings and bilateral meetings. Accommodation is on site, and reserved for consortium members and invited speakers.
Rooms in the castle can be booked for Wednesday and Thursday night. Should you wish to arrive on Tuesday evening, we blocked rooms in hotel Birdy, where the NST Consortium meeting has taken place.
The workshop is organised by CEA Cadarache and KIST Europe, sponsored by the Korean National Research Council of Science and Technology (NST).
