International Microorganism Day
International Microorganism Day is just around the corner! This Day was
created to raise awareness among young people and the society in general
on the role of microorganisms in our lives. This year we have planned several
online activities to make up for a lack of physical events for International
Microorganism Day:
This year will be streaming
a special live stream across
24 hours to social media
and webpages, featuring
speakers and guests from
the world of microbiology.
Accessible via IMD and FEMS
social media and websites
throughout the day.
The preliminary programme
will be released soon!
IMD are publishing a special series of images, videos, and blogs on microbes to
lead us up to #InternationalMicroorganismDay.
