The Onygenales conference
ONYGENALES, organized in two-year intervals, was held in Prague from 10 to 11 September 2020 in cooperation with the ISHAM ONYGENALES working group and Charles University. The workshop has become a meeting place for researchers, students, physicians, laboratory workers and epidemiologists across the fields of biomedicine who are interested in current developments in the research of dermatophytes, dimorphic and keratinophilic fungi.
„The ONYGENALES 2020 workshop was an amazing opportunity to discuss the advances of research with a wider scientific community“
– Vít Hubka, workshop organizer and leading Czech mycologist
The workshop was divided into eight thematic sections with 39 lecturers, including world-renowned experts such as Maiken C. Arendrup.
The number of participants in ONYGENALES workshops has been growing since the first meeting in 2016. This time it was more than 100 participants from 33 countries on-site and online.
Due to the epidemiological situation, which did not allow a large part of the presenters to come to Prague in-person, the speakers were offered the opportunity to present in real time online from around the world. The workshop showed a way to organize similar global scientific events in the future, despite the difficult situation.
The hybrid format allowed for discussion between on-site participants and those watching the live broadcast, while maintaining a friendly and informal atmosphere.
The workshop was supported by the International Society for Human & Animal Mycology; Faculty of Science, Charles University; Institute of Microbiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic; Czechoslovak Microbiological Society; Department of Dermatovenerology, 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and General University Hospital in Prague; The Czech Dermatovenerological Society ČLS JEP; and the Society for Medical Microbiology of the Czech Medical Association JEP.
