The Young Microbiologists Symposium is intended to bring together graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to discuss their current research. The symposium will provide an excellent opportunity for junior scientists to present their work and receive constructive feedback, to network with other students, post-docs and young Principal Investigators in the field, and to facilitate future collaborations.

The two-day programme will have several keynote addresses, a set of “hot-spot” poster talks and a poster session involving all participants, and opportunities for social interaction. Offered papers will be selected from poster abstracts and will be presented by students or post-docs. Attendees not giving an oral presentation will present a poster on their work.

If you are interested in attending and presenting at this meeting, please send an abstract and your contact details to: YMS2020@soton.ac.uk. Please indicate if you would like to be considered by the scientific committee for selection as an offered oral presentation.

Deadline for abstract submission: 30th June 2020.

Please note that there are limited spaces to present and attend so please enter your abstract as early possible to avoid disappointment.
