The conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg, with the option to attend virtually.

Registration is not yet open for this event. If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.

Symposium overview

This long-standing symposium will cover a broad range of topics in microbiology, featuring diverse research on bacterial physiology, bacterial communities and microbiomes, bacterial–host and –phage interactions, and bacteria in their natural ecological contexts. In the 8th edition of the successful biennial series, emphasis will be placed on novel approaches and technologies from systems-based to single-cell, that drive each field or have the potential to revolutionise future research in microbiology. It has become a must-attend event for scientists working with bacteria and new technologies.

The aim is to bridge the gap between traditional microbiology and novel technologies, by exposing microbiologists to new ways of addressing their hypotheses, and emerge systems or technology experts to the important questions in the field.
