Pathobionts and pathogenic bacteria have developed specific abilities to gain growth advantage and niche resilience which affect these key host biological processes, often leading to disease states such as cancer. While the connection between helicobacter infection and gastric cancer was originally considered an exception, many new examples of bacterial infection contributing to cancer have been identified. This symposium brings together the leading scientists in the field of microbial ecology, immunology, metabolism, genomics and infection to discuss the latest progress in microbial infection and cancer from an interdisciplinary perspective. This conference will provide a larger audience of young researchers and students with a stimulating platform to present their research, to network and to develop this emerging and exciting field further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session Topics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bacterial genomics and

The registration fee waiver covers the registration sum that you have paid to attend the meeting. Conference participants are not required to pre-pay the registration fee to be selected for a fee waiver for a virtual meeting. If you have already paid the registration fee and are awarded a fee waiver, it will be reimbursed after the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>fee waiver<\/strong>&nbsp;will cover the registration sum that you have paid to attend the course or conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Childcare Grant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For participants and speakers with childcare responsibilities there is the possibility to apply for a grant,&nbsp;provided by the EMBL Advanced Training Centre Corporate Partnership Programme and EMBO, to offset childcare costs incurred when participating at a virtual event. Eligible costs include fees for a babysitter or childcare facility or travel costs for a care giver. Please note that priority will be given to early stage researchers. Costs will be reimbursed after the meeting only once a reimbursement form and original receipts have been received. Attendance at the event is required in order to be eligible to receive the reimbursement. In order to apply for this grant, you must be registered by the abstract submission deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may apply for financial assistance when submitting your motivation letter for courses, and abstract for conferences. In your application you will be asked to answer questions regarding why your lab cannot fund your attendance and how your attendance will make a difference to your career. Application for financial support will not affect the outcome of your registration application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Travel Grant, there is a pre-application question during the motivation letter submission process, and if selected you will be requested to complete a standard form and documentation consisting of your travel expense estimation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific organisers will select the recipients of all financial assistance during the motivation letter or abstract selection process. Results will be announced approximately 6-8 weeks before the event start date, however for some events this may be delayed. Selection results do not impact your admission to the meeting. Selection is based on your current work or study location, the reasons for needing financial support and the impact this event will have on your career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reimbursement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Costs will be reimbursed after the meeting only once a reimbursement form and original receipts (from travel costs) have been received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/information-for-participants\/external-funding-sources\/\">list of external funding opportunities<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/information-for-participants\/become-an-event-reporter\/\">information on attending a conference as an event reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information about financial assistance please refer to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/information-for-participants\/frequently-asked-questions\/\">FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nAccommodation and Shuttles<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Accommodation is&nbsp;<strong>not included<\/strong>&nbsp;in the conference registration fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As further changes in our events are possible due to COVID-19, you should book flights, trains and hotels with flexible options and favourable cancellation conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hotels below have rooms on hold for participants until <strong>xxxx 2022<\/strong>, in some cases at special rates.
