Since 2022, the AFN biennially holds the world’s only congress solely focused on anaerobic fungi!

The first International Anaerobic Fungi Congress was held in September 2022 (IAFC2022). This large online event brought together approx. 100 AFN members from all over the world in a virtual conference venue (GatherTown), to meet, present and discuss their work. Since this conference was well-received (and we enjoyed ourselves a lot!), we IAFC2024 took place during with a larger and extended format during October 2024.

We are now delighted to announce:

IAFC 2026 will be held online during October 14-15th.

More details to follow soon on the IAFC 2026 section of this website (currently under construction).

For now, attendance of IAFC as well as access to subsequent recordings etc is only available 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 regular update emails.
