The symposium aims to join master students, PhD students and post-doc researchers as well as senior scientists interested in microbes in all their forms (bacteria, archaea, viruses, unicellular eukaryotes) and from the perspective of any discipline (biology, chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, engineering). The aim of the event is to have state-of-the-art presentations and to hear about exciting new developments and future orientations in the field.

This new symposium is dedicated to students and young researchers. PhD students and post-docs can present a 20-minute talk, a poster with a 3-minute related pitch and/or a poster only. Master´s students can only present a poster without pitch, while senior scientists can present projects or position offers for the youngests (poster only).
