European Microbiology Conference

Invitation to the European Microbiology Conference 2019 with pre-conference workshop

Dear Colleague,

I would like to invite you to the European Microbiology Conference (EMC) and the Biological Indicator Workshop 2019 of the ECA Academy in Barcelona, Spain.

The ECA has been organizing the European Microbiology Conference for 11 years. The positive feedback from participants and speakers made EMC an annual event that provides information on current developments and trends in pharmaceutical microbiology with lectures and workshops. In 2019, EMC will be combined with a pre-conference workshop on requirements, suitability and validation of biological indicators (BI).

The combination of these two events offers you an excellent opportunity to stay abreast of the latest developments and state-of-the-art in science and technology in microbiological quality control. Pharmacopoeia experts, representatives of pharmaceutical quality control and contract laboratories will share on their experiences, what the current challenges are and how they have implemented adequate microbiological quality control in their companies.

The pharmaceutical microbiologist plays a key role in all aspects of development, manufacture and control of medicinal products and their components. It is thus the aim of this conference and workshop to equip the pharmaceutical microbiologist with practical and applicable knowledge and “know-how”. In addition, it will provide a forum for interesting and open discussions between presenters, regulators and your colleagues from the industry.

It would be a great pleasure for me if you joined us in Barcelona.

Dr Sven M Deutschmann
Chairman of ECA's Pharmaceutical Microbiology Working Group
