SIAMmicrobes Information

The Soehngen Institute of Anaerobic Microbiology (SIAM) is a challenging research program, established by the Radboud University, Wageningen University, Technical University Delft, and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ). This research program is financed by a Gravitation grant from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science which supports excellent research. The SIAM research program focuses on anaerobic microbiology and unites experts in the fields of health, environment and biotechnology in order to share knowledge and discover new microorganisms and processes together. Training and education of young researchers and the next generation of scientists is an important task of the SIAM program. In addition, we inform society about microbiology and the SIAM program, aiming at public awareness and support for our research. The collaboration between SIAM and companies or institutes is essential for the development of sustainable applications deriving from our research.
