At FEMS MICRO Ljubljana 2027, we are bringing together microbiologists, innovators, and policy-makers from across Europe and beyond under the theme Growing microbial futures to shape what comes next in microbiology. Our diverse topic tracks, Eco Innovations, Health Horizons, Biotechnology and Engagement & Growth, are designed to foster groundbreaking discussions and solutions.
The FEMS MICRO programme will feature a wide range of session types, including interactive sessions, poster displays, flash talks, and session talks, all showcasing thought-provoking research from our abstract and session proposal submitters. Beyond traditional presentations, we are also curating an interdisciplinary programme of community-focused sessions, from meet-ups and fireside chats in the community corner to engaging debates on important topics.
We look forward to receiving your proposals and abstracts, and to building an inspiring and engaging congress together.
Submission Types
Share your research in the form of a hard copy poster on your allotted day, where you will be standing by to discuss your work with attendees.
Poster Display
Give attendees a 5-minute pitch of your research during a scheduled slot, complemented by a hard copy poster. These talks will take place in the exhibition hall at the heart of the congress.
Flash Talk
Deliver a 10-minute presentation followed by a Q&A. Session talks are grouped by similar topics, with up to four speakers per 60-minute symposium.
Session Talk
These 60-minute sessions are ideal for exploring complex topics in a more dynamic and participatory format. Submit your fully developed proposal complete with speaker list.
