AFN Events

The Anaerobic Fungi Network regularly organizes various events for its members.

For now, AFN events are only open to AFN members, BUT: AFN membership is free of charge! Anyone interested can become an AFN member. In addition to participation in AFN events and access to many helpful resources, AFN members can also benefit from weekly update emails.
