CANCELLED - MICROBIOLOGY SOCIETY ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The Microbiology Society will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2020. To celebrate this milestone, the organisation's flagship Annual Conference will - for one time only - be extended to five days and will take place between Monday 30 March and Friday 3 April 2020.

Due to the continued spread of SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19, the Council of the Microbiology Society, as Trustees of the Society, have taken the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Annual Conference, due to take place from 30 March until 3 April 2020 in Edinburgh, UK. We will also postpone our Candida and Candidiasis Focused Meeting, due to take place from 19-23 April in Montreal, Canada.

This prestigious meeting will be held at Edinburgh International Convention Centre (EICC) in the beautiful city of Edinburgh and will include an additional, high-profile “Fleming Showcase” (Monday).

This will be followed by the standard four days (Tuesday–Friday) of scientific sessions. As ever, these sessions are designed to demonstrate the impact and potential of microbiology to address important global challenges.

Annual Conference 2020 is therefore designed to cover the breadth of microbiology research and its comprehensive scientific programme has over 30 sessions taking place over five days in a range of formats, including:

SYMPOSIA
VIROLOGY WORKSHOPS
EUKARYOTIC AND PROKARYOTIC FORUMS
MICROBIOLOGY SOCIETY SESSIONS
