Portuguese Society of Microbiology (PT-SPM)

The SPM aims are to promote and develop research, teaching and applications of microbiology and related sciences in Portugal, fostering the interaction between SPM members and encouraging the communication between microbiologists.

Since 2001 and every two years, SPM , together with the Portuguese Society for Biotechnology, organizes the National Congress of Microbiology and Biotechnology (Microbiotec). This joint meeting includes interdisciplinary sessions across several thematic areas in Microbiology and Biotechnology.

Microbiologia, the Magazine of SPM, is an online open access journal aimed at unveiling microbiology R&D activities in Portugal or promoted by Portuguese researchers, in the scientific, academic and professional communities.
