Two years have already passed since the great success in St. Petersburg. Now we have the honor to provide an opportunity for the Extremophiles community to gather once again, in Kyoto. The enthusiasm of the late Prof. Koki Horikoshi was a major driving force to hold the Congress in Kyoto. He was the founder and president of both the Japanese and International Societies of Extremophiles. His absence will be felt throughout the Congress, but the organizing committees have made tremendous efforts to ensure the continuation of his devotion towards research on extremophiles. On the second day of the Congress, we will hold a Memorial Session honoring his scientific achievements and contributions to our society. The program of Extremophiles2016 boasts presentations from the most distinguished scientists engaged in various fields of extremophile research, ranging from ecology, genomics, molecular biology, physiology, to biotechnology. We hope the Congress will provide an ideal opportunity for participants to meet and interact with experts from all over the world and serve as a platform to discuss the recent advances in extremophiles research, exchange new ideas and develop new relationships. Extremophiles2016 has received generous support from many foundations, companies and public organizations. The support is greatly appreciated and we would like to express our sincerest gratitude. Kyoto is an ancient city, and was the capital of Japan for over a thousand years. It is in many ways still the center of Japanese culture. Our excursion courses will introduce only a few of the major cultural sites in the city, and I hope the participants will be able to find the time to explore the many more treasures that lie in the city. On behalf of the Organizing Committees, we thank you once again for participating in Extremophiles2016. We sincerely hope you enjoy the Congress and the city of Kyoto!
