Events

The Microbiology Society runs a range of conferences and seminars across its busy events schedule. All meetings aim to bring together scientists to shape the future of microbiology, strengthen membership networks and enable knowledge exchange. This will help us achieve our principal goal to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities.
