Congress of the European Society of
Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
The scientific programme is built by the ESCMID Global Programme Committee from proposals submitted by the ESCMID community which includes affiliated and partner societies, ESCMID Study Groups, subcommittees and other special interest groups. Here ESCMID acknowledges the members of the ESCMID Global Programme Committee and the contributors that have given their time and effort to creating the congress programme.
The ESCMID Global Programme Committee consists of experts across the range of specialities in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases, lead by the ESCMID Global Programme Director and Associate Programme Director who oversee the entire process and guide the programme from start to finish. The committee meets twice a year to firstly create the invited scientific programme and then to assign accepted abstracts to oral sessions creating the abstract programme.
The invited programme is created through a call for session proposals which are submitted by the contributing entities listed here. There are also special congress elements that are coordinated by unique working groups which are acknowledged here for their time and effort to organise these additional activities or programmes.
The organisations listed here have contributed to the development of the scientific programme at ESCMID Global this year by co-organising sessions within the invited programme. Their participation in the congress enhances both the width and breadth of content available for attendees.
ESCMID is comprised of a number of committees and subcommittees who lead the society and guide it along the path forward. These entities also support the organisation of the ESCMID Global scientific programme by submitting cross-cutting sessions that reach for higher-level science and education.
ESCMID Study Groups (SGs) are dedicated to pushing scientific understanding and facilitating educational initiatives including ESCMID Global. Each SG focuses on a specialised topic and co-organise related sessions within the scientific programme bringing with them, their expertise and innovation.
The programme for Selective Pressure is coordinated by a special committee who collect and design the structure of the quiz show ensuring scientific accuracy and fun for the participants and attendees.
