2. Special Poster Discussion Groups

Instead of “traditional poster walks” there will be Special Poster Discussion Groups on selected highly topical issues. These sessions will offer young scientists an unique opportunity to present and discuss interim results of high importance.
The topics of all Special Poster Discussion Groups will be available on this website shortly.

3. Poster Presentations

Throughout the Congress there will be poster sessions scheduled covering all areas of microbiology addressed by this Congress. To view topics click here

Submissions marked Workshops or Special Poster Discussion Groups not accepted for either of these types will be considered for poster presentation. Authors will be notified regarding Abstract acceptance. Accepted abstracts will be included in the CD of abstracts that will be distributed at the Congress. A limited number of abstract books will be printed and will be available for purchase.
