Later this month, ID-CARE Team Members will be joining over 16,000 infectious disease and microbiology specialists at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Barcelona.
The European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) has become one of the largest and the foremost congresses in the field of infection, bringing together >16,000 colleagues from all over the world for scientific education, networking and exchange. The comprehensive scientific programme is built by the ECCMID Programme Committee (EPC), an independent group of experts representing all disciplines related to clinical microbiology, infectious diseases, infection prevention and control and public health. This ensures that the programme is a combination that spans the entire range of topics in these fields, allowing every participant to have a comprehensive educational and networking experience.
Members of the ID-CARE team will be attending and presenting, with a total of 23 presentations; 6 of which will be oral presentations and educational sessions. See below for an overview of the presentations taking place, make sure you come by and say hello!
