We are delighted to welcome almost 3000 new and old faces from all over the world to FEMS 2017, which opened in Valencia on 9 July with a warm welcome from FEMS and SEM Presidents, Bauke Oudega and Antonio Ventosa, as well as plenary talks from CRISPR-Cas9 pioneer, Emmanuelle  Charpentier and FEMS-Lwoff Awardee, Jeff Errington.

It has been a fantastic start to a week of science discussion and presentations showcasing the best of microbiology from the global microbiology community. Here is a round-up of the past couple of days in pictures:
