The Irish Division of the Microbiology Society invites you to join us in Athlone, for a one and a half day meeting that is focused on the best of Microbiology on the island of Ireland, building new relationships and reaffirming those already established. This meeting builds on the strength of Microbiology in Ireland across all thematic areas of research, while at the same time acting as a meeting place to encourage new collaborations and new ideas to flourish.

TOPICS COVERED

At the meeting, participants will learn about some of the fantastic Microbiology research that is happening across a diverse range of topics, reflecting the idea that interdisciplinarity can broaden horizons and open new doors to breakthroughs.
This year we will also host an Education and EPE session prior to the scientific symposium, with presentations/workshops on innovations in practical engagements that will foster the next generation of microbiologists across the land.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The event is suitable for all career levels. It will also provide a range of opportunities for early career researchers in particular to present their work in offered talk presentations, flash talks and posters.
