ISPL-2016

22nd International Symposium on Plant Lipids
03-08 July 2016, Goettingen, Germany

[updated 07.07.2015]

Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to attend the 22nd International Symposium on Plant Lipids to be held in the City of Goettingen, Germany.

The scientific program will present contributions from the most important topics in plant lipid research, such as seed oil formation, function of lipids in biotic and abiotic stress as well as their formation in algae and other microorganisms. Key note lectures will allow glimpses into exciting areas of lipid research hitherto not included in plant lipid meetings. Moreover, short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. These will be supplemented by two poster sessions.

We hope that the venue will provide plant lipid researches an exciting four and a half days. We look forward to seeing you in Goettingen.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee,

Ivo Feussner
University of Göttingen

Awards

[updated 28.10.2015]

THE TERRY GALLIARD MEMORIAL LECTURE AND MEDAL
In recognition of the great contribution to the international plant lipid research from Professor Terry Galliard, the organizer of the first ISPL in Norwich in 1974, Terry Galliard Memorial Lecture was started on the 11th ISPL in 1994. The Terry Galliard Award will be given to a scientist who contributes significantly to the field of plant lipid research, is a member of the plant lipid family and has participated in several of the ISPL. So far eleven Terry Galliard lectures have been held, and the Terry Galliard Medal was first awarded to each of the T. Galliard lecturer in 2000.

Nominations are now being accepted for the Terry Galliard Award/Medal. Persons interested in submitting a nomination package are asked to contact Dr. Ingo Heilmann, Halle/Saale: ingo.heilmann@biochemtech.uni-halle.de. The nomination deadline is January 15th, 2016. The ISPL2016 Scientific Advisory Committee will be responsible for reviewing the nominations and facilitating the vote by the plant lipid community. Please note that all nominators will remain anonymous. The awardee will have the opportunity to give an oral presentation as part of the conference program.

PAUL K. STUMPF AWARD
Paul K. Stumpf, who died in 2007, is the recognized father of plant lipid (fats and oils) research. A renowned biochemist, Stumpf trained many students who went on to become leaders in the field, while publishing more than 250 research papers over four decades. Among his achievements was the discovery in plants of the alpha-oxidation pathway for degrading fatty acids. Genetic defects in the same pathway in animals are linked to rare hereditary diseases. The award is presented to scientists who have held doctoral degrees for six years or less and so far four earned the prestigious distinction.

Applications are now being accepted for the Paul K. Stumpf Award. Persons interested in being considered for the Paul K. Stumpf Award are asked to submit: i) a copy of their CV, ii) a one-page summary of their career and achievements in the area of plant lipid biology, and iii) a supporting letter from their current and/or past advisor. Application materials should be submitted by e-mail to Dr. Peter Doermann, Bonn, doermann@uni-bonn.de. The application deadline is January 15th, 2016. The ISPL-2016 Scientific Advisory Committee will be responsible for deciding the award winner. The awardee will have the opportunity to give an oral presentation as part of the conference program.

Half Day Trip to Goslar

[updated 14.08.2015]

Wednesday, 6 July 2016
Depature: 13:00 by bus from the congress venue
Arrival Goslar: 14:00
Goslar has a rich cultural, political and industrial history.
Salian Emperor Henry I founded the town in the 10th century after the discovery of silver deposits in the nearby Rammelsberg. The wealth derived from silver mining brought Goslar the status of an Imperial City, which attracted the interest of the Holy Roman Emperor.

The medieval Imperial Palace (Kaiserpfalz Goslar) was built in the 11th century and became a summer residence for the emperors, especially Henry III of Germany who visited his favourite palace about twenty times. Henry's heart is buried in Goslar, his body in the family vault in Speyer Cathedral.

During your stay in Golsar you will experience guided tours through:

Kaiserpfalz Imperial Palace
Kaiserpfalz, The Imperial Palace, built between 1040 and 1050 during the reign of Heinrich III, is a unique secular architecture monument. For more than 200 years German and European history was made here. In the St. Ulrich Chapel at the south end a stone sarcophagus with the figure of Heinrich III on the cover houses the gold capsule containing the heart of the emperor, who died in 1056.

In the late 19th century both the Palace and the Chapel were renovated extensively and the interior of the Palace upper hall was decorated with monumental murals by H. Wislicenus. The ground floor has an extensive exhibition of itinerant imperial rule. The Imperial Palace is a “must” for every Goslar visitor.

World Heritage Rammelsberg Mining Museum
The ore mines of the Rammelsberg are the only mines in the world which were in uninterrupted operation for over 1000 years. It and the medieval Old Town of Goslar with the Imperial Palace were placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992. Ten centuries of mining history are documented in the Rammelsberg, which shut down in 1988, leaving a large inventory of mining monuments: the slag heaps (10th century), the Rathstiefste Gallery (one of the oldest and best maintained galleries of German mining, 12th century), the Feuergezähe Vault (oldest underground stone-masonry mine chamber in Europe, 13th century), the Maltermeister Tower (the oldest above ground structure of German mining, 15th century), the Roeder Gallery (18th/19th century) with two original water wheels, and the above ground mining plant from the 1930’s.

With its wealth of nearly 30 million tonnes of ore the Rammelsberg influenced the history and development of the town of Goslar. The silver- and copper-rich Rammelsberg gave Heinrich II the impetus to establish a royal palatinate here in the 11th century; in 1009 the first imperial diet was held in Goslar. Goslar was a favourite residence of German kings and emperors until 1253. Trade in metals led to membership in the Hanseatic League.

Goettingen

[updated 28.10.2014]

Goettingen, the university city on the Leine river steeped in tradition, is situated right in the middle of Germany. This city, with approximately 129.000 inhabitants of which more than 25.000 are students, is characterised by a creative flair and a unique atmosphere.	Wikipedia, Daniel Schwen
Wikipedia, Daniel Schwen	The village "Gutingi", to which the city goes back, was first mentioned in 953 in a document by Emperor Otto I. Today's old town combines in a charming way the memory of the medieval merchant community (member of the Hanseatic League 1351-1572) with the ambience of a modern business location.
With 13 faculties the Georg-August-University, founded in 1737, is well represented in nearly all scientific disciplines. Also, more than 40 Nobel Prize winners are associated with its name.	Wikipedia, Frank Schulenburg
Wikipedia, Ajburk	Goose Lizzy is a fountain which was erected in 1901 in front of the medieval town hall of Goettingen. Although rather small in size, the fountain is the most well-known landmark of the city. Today, it is an essential part of the graduation celebrations for every student who finishes a doctorate to climb the fountain and to kiss the statue of the goose girl.
