19^th Congress of the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS 2026)

If your research investigates the fundamental mechanisms of Bacteriology, Virology, or Mycology and Eukaryotic Microbiology, IUMS 2026 is where the conversations that will drive global health, food security, and environmental sustainability happen first https://iums2026.com/.

The impact of this congress is proven. During our last edition in Florence, we welcomed 1,400+ participants from 86 countries and reviewed around 1.600 abstract submissions.

This is the definitive stage to put your data in front of the specialists who will recognize the signal in your results, connect it to global trends, and move the scientific discussion forward.

• Visibility where it matters: Share results with the global community. Selected abstracts will be published in Frontiers in Microbiology, ensuring your work gains the international reach it deserves.
• Cross-disciplinary traction: Get direct feedback from clinical microbiologists, biotechnologists, and environmental researchers in the same room.
• Belonging in the conversation: If your work touches on the future of our planet’s microbiome, your peers want to see it.

Abstract submission deadline: 29 April
