Natura o.z. aims at identification of rising stars in biomedical sciences and supporting their oral presentations at international scientific meetings. Since 2007, in close collaboration with the Yeast Commission of the Czechoslovak Society for Microbiology, we organized the series of invited ‘Natura lectures’ presented at the Annual Conference on Yeasts organized in Smolenice (Slovakia).
