FEMS2019 Is Nearly Here!
It’s less than two weeks until the start of FEMS2019 in Glasgow
(7th - 11th July), organised with our Member Society host, the
Society for Applied Microbiology (SfAM). FEMS2019 will bring
together leading scientists spanning different fields of reserach to
celebrate the best of microbiology. This congress will showcase the
most recent developments in microbiology to address some of the
global challenges we face today, such as antimicrobial resistance,
environmental pollution and the emergence of pathogenic disease.
The FEMS Congresses are the only scientific meetings
at European and international level providing a
unique forum for interdisciplinary dialogue and
discussion between all microbiological specialties
ranging from basic research to applied and across
all sectors – academic, policy, business, educational,
and communications.
The Congress aims to inspire scientists to come together and collaborate on fresh
new ideas freely without limits. We can’t wait to see
as many members of the microbiology community
as possible at FEMS2019 in Glasgow, one of
Europe’s most vibrant and dynamic cities, that’s
also been voted the world’s friendliest city.
The keynote speakers for this year bring the
greatest range of mircobiological expertise to the
event, and we cannot wait to hear them present
their reserach:
