Affiliated Societies

With its Affiliated Societies (AS), ESCMID strives to both promote the wider interests of specialist organisations and strengthen the already vibrant collaboration among worldwide experts and specialists in the fields of Clinical Microbiology (CM) and Infectious Diseases (ID).

Description

Affiliating your society with ESCMID provides an opportunity to engage with a leading society dedicated to the advancement of CM and ID. ESCMID offers a platform for continuous professional and educational development, fosters collaboration among experts, and promotes research and best practices. Being affiliated with ESCMID means becoming part of a collaborative network for professionals to enhance the global standard of CM and ID while enjoying the numerous advantages ESCMID offers to its affiliates.
