The 9th Congress of European Microbiologists (FEMS 2021) was one of the leading meetings of its kind and connected thousands of microbiologists from around the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made us review how we could deliver events in a safe, flexible, effective and accessible manner. We worked together with our Member Societies on the best ways to create opportunities to connect and share knowledge virtually. One of the consequences was that our upcoming congress FEMS2021, originally planned to be in Hamburg, Germany, became an ONLINE congress.
Recognizing that microbial sciences, just like microbes, know no borders, the American Society of Microbiology (ASM) and the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) came together to launch a new initiative– the World Microbe Forum took place online from 20-24 June, 2021. Bringing together two of the biggest meetings in the microbial sciences, ASM Microbe 2021 and FEMS2021, under one platform to further science.
The official hashtag for the event was: #WorldMicrobeForum
