We are pleased to announce that the 7th International Conference on Nitrification and Related Processes (ICoN7) will be held virtually coming from Logan Utah USA from July 18-22, 2021. The ICoN meetings are the premier biennial opportunity for sharing scientific research related to nitrification, links between nitrification and other processes of the global nitrogen and other elemental cycles, and applications of insights from fundamental science to technical and environmental systems. The Scientific Advisory Committee has put together a stellar program covering a wide range of topics related to the global nitrogen cycle, intersection between nitrogen and other elemental cycles, and applications of knowledge from basic research to technological innovation to environmental application. These topics will be covered by invited keynote lectures, plenary and contributed talks, posters, and an early career workshop for young scientists. The ICoN7 is the first ICoN to be held virtually due to safety concerns of the Covid 19 pandemic. We are now calling for abstract submissions. We expect all attendees to register and submit an abstract for presentation. Please submit your abstract online by May 15, 2021 for consideration for an oral presentation and by June 19, 2021 for poster. Oral presentations may be prerecorded video available for on-demand viewing. Video short talks will complement poster presentations. Interactive sessions for discussions and questions are also planned. Note the meeting language is English. On behalf of the Scientific Advisory Committee and local team at Utah State University, we look forward to your contribution and participation.
We will meet you from where you are!

Thank you for submitting your work for presentation during the virtual ICoN-7 (International conference on nitrification and related processes)!!
You have a few days left to edit your abstract and then upload your posters and presentations. The same page as for your abstract has the link for uploading your poster (ppt or pdf format) and video files (mp4). The abstract page directly is here.
Poster suggested size for on screen viewing: 90 cm high by 120 cm wide (36 x 48 inches) for a 3:4 aspect ratio in landscape mode.
See this fun and interesting create a #BetterPoster video and some templates as well
We will have interactive sessions planned for each topical session on each day of the conference. Please note the poster session for section 5 engineered systems will be on July 21 at 22:00-23:00 UTC before the session 5 speakers so that posters can be reviewed before the end of the conference and that those participating from Asia will experience less of time shift.
Please do a 5 minute video highlighting the main points of your poster, save in mp4 format please for upload. An easy way is to use zoom to record a 5 minute session with shared screen for key figures.
For presenters please pre-record your talk with your presentation and keep to your time limit : 15 minute for talks followed by 5 minutes for questions, plenary speakers have 30 minutes and 5 minutes for questions. Question sessions will be live so please make sure to check the timing for your presentation.
English will be the official language for all conference presentations. This wide range of topics will be covered by keynote lectures, invited and contributed talks, posters, and an early career workshop. Social activities will include an opening keynote with chat and we are working on other ways to meet and greet.
