theyeasts.org workshop

Thursday 18 September 2025

Venue: Westerdijk Institute

This workshop will be for yeast enthusiasts that would like to participate in the project theyeasts.org (https://theyeasts.org/). During this workshop, you will get an overview of the status of the project, brainstorm together on how to proceed and on which level you would like to participate, e.g. be (co-)author of a chapter(s), or help with updating the taxonomy.

An overview of the program will be made available through this link, but potential discussion points will be:

  • dual nomenclature that still exists, competing names and what should be the preferred names
  • MALDI-TOF database (in collaboration with Bruker)
  • typification and validation of invalid names
  • proposed minimal standards for species descriptions

Teun Boekhout (teun.boekhout@gmail.com) can be contacted if you have additional points that you want to have addressed during the workshop and/or if you want to participate online in the workshop.

For those that would like to attend the workshop in person please register using the registration page.
