Annual Conference sessions

Annual Conference proposals

If you have an idea for a session and would like it to be included in our next Annual Conference programme, we want to hear from you. The Microbiology Society Annual Conference consists of a number of parallel sessions running for one or two days.

Session suggestions are invited from any field of microbiology. If your suggestion is accepted, the Scientific Conferences Committee (SCC) will appoint experienced session organisers to finalise the session programme.

Please check the list of recently covered topics prior to submission:
