On behalf of the Black Yeasts – Chaetotyriales Working Group, I am pleased to announce that the next Group meeting will take place in Barcelona on 22–23 October 2026. The workshop website is now online, and registration and abstract submission portals are open:
The webpage includes information on the scope and scientific themes of the meeting, as well as practical details about the venue, access, and local logistics to support travel planning. It will be progressively updated with additional information on travel, accommodation options, and other practical arrangements.
Please feel free to forward this message to colleagues in your networks who may be interested. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to welcoming you in Barcelona!
Francesc X. Prenafata
