MycoKeys and Pensoft are heading to the 12^th International Mycological Congress

The Pensoft team is excited to attend the 12^th International Mycological Congress held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, from the 11^th to 15^th of August 2024.

Organised by the International Mycological Association, together with the Dutch Mycological Society and the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, the four-day meeting will include keynote lectures by scientific leaders, bridging sessions, and workshops.

Registration for the event is open until the 6^th of August, and onsite registration is available from the 7^th of August.

As one of the supporters of the congress, the Mycokeys publisher Pensoft will be stationed at exhibition booth #6, where attendees can meet some of the team, including MycoKeys' Editor-in-Chief Thorsten Lumbsch and Pensoft's CEO and founder Prof. Dr. Lyubomir Penev. Pensoft will also present Best Talk awards at the event; winners will receive a free publication in MycoKeys.

A special gathering for MycoKeys editors will take place during the congress, but they will have to wait and see what that entails!

Powered by ARPHA, MycoKeys has a Scopus CiteScore of 5.9 (Q1 in Agricultural and Biological Sciences; Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics; and Plant Science) and a Journal Impact factor of 2.8 (Q2 in Mycology). All congress participants are invited to learn more about Mycokeys and consider submitting their work to the journal.

We remind you that the journal offers special conditions and benefits for Special issues and Topical collections meant to collate contributions grouped by a shared topic or interest group.

The congress’ topics are broken down into seven themes:

• Cell biology, biochemistry and physiology
• Environment, ecology and interactions
• Evolution, biodiversity and systematics
• Fungal pathogenesis and disease control
• Genomics, genetics and molecular biology
• Applied Mycology
• Nomenclature.
