European Microbiology Conference 2024

+++ This year's event already took place. +++

Dear Colleagues,

After last year‘s wonderful conference in Heidelberg, we are once again offering you the opportunity to meet face-to-face, listen to exciting presentations and discuss current topics in microbiology with colleagues and speakers. Since 2008, the European Microbiology Conference of the ECA Academy in close cooperation with the ECA Pharmaceutical Microbiology Working Group has been an integral part of the European conference landscape.

For the second time after the pandemic and again on site, we have selected a series of interesting lectures. On the one hand, we will be looking at current developments in pharmacopoeias on topics such as alternative methods, endotoxins/pyrogens and bioburden, and on the other, we will be addressing the dilemma of temperatures during the incubation of microorganisms and monitoring requirements. Another block of lectures will deal with questions of contamination control under the aspects of the current GMP guidelines.

This year, we are placing a special focus on the topic of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), i.e. the activities of PharmEur in this field, the impact of ICH Q5A(R2) and the experiences of users, with our own pre-conference workshop.

We look forward to welcoming you in Munich.
