Annual Oomycete Molecular Genetics Meeting

Each year, the network will support a 2-3 day Oomycete Molecular Genetics Meeting (OMG Meeting). Usually, the meeting is organized in conjunction with the Asilomar Fungal Genetics Conference or, in alternate years, at a location outside the U.S. Upcoming meetings are listed below. They will take place in the spring or summer, and the specific dates and the locations will be announced when available.

2010 Oomycete Molecular Genetics Meeting June 6-8

We are pleased to invite you to participate to the next meeting of the Oomycete Molecular Genetics Network (OMGN), that will be held at the Médiathèque of Toulouse (France) from June 6 to 8, 2010. You will find the website for registration, programme, travel grant application, and other useful information at http://www.polebio.scsv.ups-tlse.fr/OMGN2010/.

Information about travel grants can be found at http://www.polebio.scsv.ups-tlse.fr/OMGN2010/travels_grants.htm

- Foreign participants will have to pay online with a credit card, after connection to a link that is provided at the congress website. To reduce spamming, payment will need a pre-registration step manually validated by us, followed by a registration step. Sorry for this !

- French participants will send by post their "chèque" or "bon de commande" for payment.

Pay attention to the regulations concerning the travel grants, either from the FEMS or from the OMGN.

The deadline for early registration payment at a reduced rate has been moved to January 31, 2010. We are aware that some people have had problems to register and/or pay, whereas other people, using either Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer as internet browsers, succeeded. The reason for this is still obscure and will not be solved by the CNRS internet service before January.

The registration procedure is as follows:
1) Register for the meeting and send your abstract using the meeting website at http://www.polebio.scsv.ups-tlse.fr/OMGN2010/
For payment,
2) Use the "CNRS" link provided at the meeting website
(http://dr14.azur-colloque.cnrs.fr/pre-inscription.php?colloque=1&lang=en)
and pre-register.
3) Wait for our manual validation of your pre-registration, until you receive an automatic Email with an internet address redirecting you to the full registration and payment webpage from the CNRS

4) go to this page and proceed to full registration and payment (Do not go back to the meeting website)

In order to understand why some people have problems and others do not,  please send to bottin@scsv.ups-tlse.fr as soon as you can, a message indicating

- at which step, 1) or 2) or 3) or 4), you have a problem

- what is the nature of the problem: please provide any error message you get, and indicate the source of the error message
- what kind of computer (Mac or PC) and which internet browser you are using.
