Keynotes
These talks are led by professionals in their field and are an opportunity to explore research conducted beyond your institution or organisation. The talks will be based on three key microbiology themes: Environment, Biotechnology and Medical. Click on the icons below for full details on each of our keynote speakers.
ECS talks
ECS talks are an opportunity for scientists who are beginning their career to showcase their recent work. The project being presented does not have to be complete, but it’s a great way to practice presenting and answering audience questions in a friendly, supportive environment. The ECS Symposium will feature 6 of these presentations - two after each keynote. Click on the icons below for full details on each talk and to watch their video abstracts.
Poster Session
Tuesday 23 March 12:00pm GMT
