CSP 2012 PI Workshop

DOE Joint Genome Institute

Walnut Creek, California

The DOE-JGI is organizing a two-day workshop for Principal Investigators on successful CSP 2012 proposals in the focus areas of "plant-microbe interactions" and "terrestrial greenhouse gas emissions and capture" to be held at the JGI in Walnut Creek, CA, on January 23-24, 2012.

Attendance to this workshop is by invitation only
