10th International Workshop for Mangrove Biodiversity Studies by eDNA Metabarcoding

18 - 23 February, 2025
jointly held with
International Symposium on Environmental DNA for Conservation and Biomonitoring in Southeast Asia (eDNAConBio 2025)
18 - 19 February 2025

Co-sponsored by University of Nottingham Malaysia, JSPS Core to Core, e-ASIA JRP, AJ-CORE JRP, Nature Positive, Ocean Shot, and KAKENHI International (B) 

Welcome to KLTC, University of Nottingham Malaysia!

We are pleased to announce the “10th International Workshop on Mangrove Biodiversity Studies by eDNA Metabarcoding,” taking place at KLTC, University of Nottingham Malaysia. Since its inception in 2020 for the 1st round JSPSC2C project, our international collaboration on eDNA research for global mangroves has grown significantly. This initiative has expanded through various international research grants, including CRRP Malaysia (APN), e-ASIA JRP, AJ-Core JRP, JSPS KAKENHI, Nature Positive (COI-Next Tohoku), JSPSC2C (2nd round), and Ocean Shot.

Looking ahead, ANEMONE-Global will serve as our next major project for large-scale biodiversity research. With the generous support of the University of Nottingham Malaysia, we are delighted to host our 10th international workshop in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. For the first two days, we will also conduct eDNAConBio 2025 as an international symposium. We look forward to fostering insightful discussions on the applications of eDNA studies in Southeast Asia and beyond.
