Dear colleague,

The [**X International *Fusarium*
Workshop**](http://www.cdl.umn.edu/scab/10th_fhb_wkshp.htm) and the
[***Fusarium* Genomics
Workshop**](http://www.cdl.umn.edu/scab/10th_fhb_wkshp.htm) will be held
at the [Hotel Carlos V](http://www.gioricohotels.it/) in Alghero
(Sardinia, Italy) from August 30^th^ through September 2^nd^, 2008.

The International *Fusarium* Workshop is sponsored by the *Fusarium*
Committee of the [International Society for Plant
Pathology](http://www.isppweb.org/) and held every four years in
conjunction with the [International Congress of Plant
Pathology](http://www.icpp2008.org/).  In 2008 we are also meeting with
the annual *Fusarium* Genomics Workshop. 

The *Fusarium* workshops 2008 are organized by the [Department of Plant
Protection](http://dpp.uniss.it/dpp/index.php?pid=1), [University of
Sassari](http://www.uniss.it/) in collaboration with [Istituto Nazionale
Biostrutture e Biosistemi](http://www.inbb.it/).

We do hope that the proverbial warm hospitality of Sardinia and the
picturesque atmosphere of Alghero and its enchanting sea will attract
many scientists from around the world including students, researchers,
academics, and industrial representatives to present and discuss their
latest results with their international peers. We will also be happy to
send a personal invitation to any scientist upon request. Such
invitations should help participants in making their travel and VISA
arrangements and are not commitments on the part of the Organizing
Committee to provide financial support.

With our very best wishes,

Quirico Migheli and Virgilio Balmas
