This conference focuses on the unique roles of Archaea, the major biological producers of the greenhouse gas methane and the evolutionary ancestors of eukaryotes, making them pivotal for climate change, ecosystem resilience, and understanding the origin of complex life. It responds to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development initiative by forging a high-level international platform. The goal is to strengthen global cooperation, leveraging microbial solutions to mitigate climate change and enhance ecological sustainability. By integrating multi-omics data with experimental validation, and harnessing big data and artificial intelligence, the conference aims to overcome current research bottlenecks and propel the field of Geo-Omics of Archaea into a new era of discovery and application.
