EACE 2025—Thank You for a Wonderful First Meeting!
EACE 2025 Wrap-Up & Next Steps
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you to everyone who joined the 1st East Asia Conference on Extremophiles (EACE 2025) at Toyo University, Asaka Campus, from November 5 to 7, 2025. Over three days, researchers from across East Asia and beyond shared new results, forged collaborations, and strengthened our regional network.
We are deeply grateful to all speakers, poster presenters, session chairs, sponsors, and the outstanding team of student volunteers and staff. Your support and enthusiasm made this inaugural meeting a true success.
Looking ahead: The 2nd EACE is planned for 2027 in Ningbo (寧波）, China. We hope to see you there as we continue to grow this community.
Please don’t forget that the 15th International Conference on Extremophiles（Extremophiles2026） will be held in Seoul, Korea, in September 2026—see you in Seoul next year!
