We are delighted to announce that this conference is going virtual and invite you to join us online.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symposium Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This symposium will cover a broad range of topics in microbiology, including antibiotic-related research, bacterial communities and microbiome, cell biology, regulation &amp; signalling, pathogenesis and evolution. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This meeting is the fifth of its kind, part of a successful series which started in 2013 and held biannually since, becoming a must-attend event for scientists working with bacteria and new technologies. The focus remains on the interface of new technologies and new biology in bacteria, but the thematic areas change and speaker line-ups do not overlap between consecutive symposia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This symposium aims at bridging the gap between traditional microbiology and novel technologies, by exposing microbiologists to new ways of addressing their hypotheses. At the same time, it provides a platform for systems or technology experts to get a better understanding of the important questions in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session

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. Course participants are required to pay the course fee in advance, which will then be reimbursed after the course to the fee waiver recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Childcare Grants<\/strong><br>For participants with children, there is the possibility to apply for a childcare grant&nbsp;provided by the EMBL Advanced Training Centre Corporate Partnership Programme, to offset childcare costs incurred by participants or speakers 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. A maximum amount of 500 EUR can be awarded per participant selected for the virtual childcare grant. 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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Registration Fee Waivers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may apply for financial assistance when submitting your abstract for this conference. In your application you will be asked to answer questions regarding your motivation for applying, reasons 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><strong>Childcare Grants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants registered by the abstract deadline will be emailed information about the childcare grants. You should apply for the grant by the deadline specified in the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific organisers will select the recipients of registration fee waivers during the abstract selection process.&nbsp;Results will be announced approximately 3 &#8211; 4 weeks before the event start date.&nbsp;Selection results do not impact your admission to the meeting. Registration fee waiver selection is based on your current work or study location, your motivation for applying, the reasons for needing financial support and the impact this event will have on your career. Childcare grants are allocated based on career stage, with priority given to early stage researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further details<\/strong><\/h3>\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\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1306\">FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nVirtual Participation Guidelines<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guidelines\">Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use the event-specific hashtag as communicated during the event for any related tweets<\/li><li>Tweet unless the speaker specifically says otherwise<\/li><li>Be mindful of unpublished data<\/li><li>Be respectful in tone and content<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don&#8217;t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Share Slack, live stream or poster session links with others<\/li><li>Broadcast the conference to unregistered participants<\/li><li>Capture, transmit or redistribute data presented at the meeting unless presenter gives explicit consent<\/li><li>Use offensive language in your posts<\/li><li>Engage in rudeness or personal attacks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional information can be found in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/information-for-participants\/code-of-conduct\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Code of Conduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"health\">Health and well-being<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to stay healthy and move around, especially when you are attending an event virtually.
