European Microbiology Conference 2025

Dear Colleagues,

Last year again saw new developments in the field of microbiology. Especially in the regulatory area of pharmacopoeias, there are approaches worldwide to consider new techniques, implement strategies such as 3Rs and provide support in the establishment and validation of modern and alternative methods. For this reason, the European Microbiology Conference 2025 will also address these developments in detail and focus on these global developments on the first day. Speakers from the expert groups of various pharmacopoeias such as Ph. Eur., USP, ChP and quality assessors and inspectors from various authorities will provide insights into expectations of changes and their own experiences. In addition, individual lecture blocks with speakers from industry and laboratories will focus on relevant topics such as rapid/alternative microbiological methods, monitoring and identification or modern testing for endotoxins and pyrogens in order to provide participants with a comprehensive picture over the three days. The diverse field of speakers and the current topics will enable a comprehensive discussion of current issues with participants 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. After Heidelberg and Munich in the last two years, we will meet this year on 20-22 May in Vienna, Austria.

We look forward to welcoming you in Vienna
