Over 80 scientists from 11 countries took part in the 41st International Conference of the Polish Phycological Society, 3-7 June, in Będlewo near Poznań. A broad range of cutting- edge research were presented, in the fields of the climate change impacts, taxonomy, diversity and ecology of algae and cyanobacteria, cyanobacterial metabolites and applied algology. One of the oral presentation sessions, “timeless potential of algae research” was dedicated to Professor Lubomira Burchardt and her contribution to the development of phycological research.
