The 36th ESCMID Global (Congress of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases ), Munich, Germany 17-21 April 2026, has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 33.0 European CME credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that they actually spent in the educational activity.

Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. You can find information on the EACCME® to AMA credit conversion process here.

Live educational activities, occurring outside of Canada, recognised by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that they actually spent in the educational activity.

The EACCME® awards ECMEC®s on the basis of 0.5 ECMEC® for 30 minutes of CME with a maximum of 8 ECMEC®s per day.

People viewing the recordings during the six-month period after the event has taken place are entitled to CME credits, in the same way as the participants to the live event.

The credits are granted, as for the live event, on the basis of actual “participation”, i.e. how many hours of CME the participants have viewed.

The maximum number of credits granted for watching the recordings will be the same as for the live event and cannot exceed this number whatever the number of sessions attended or viewed. A participant may not obtain credits for participating at the live event and watching the same sessions as recordings. 

Please note: The number of points mentioned above are only for those people who do not live and practice in Germany. ESCMID has applied also at the Bavarian Medical Chamber (“Bayerische Landesärztekammer”) in order to recognise ESCMID Global 2026 for German participants. This website will be updated as soon as this matter is clarified.

In accordance with CME/CPD accreditation criteria and standards for commercial support to ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigour, those in control of the educational content must disclose potential or actual conflicts of interest. Disclosure information is evaluated and conflicts of interest resolved. Disclosure is made to participants prior to the activity. Participants will be asked on the evaluation to assess the objectivity and independence of the event.

To receive your CME/CPD certificate

For CME certificates participants need to connect to the CME platform and log in with their ESCMID account. The points of the sessions need to be claimed individually, and a general survey needs to be filled out. The survey will open on Tuesday, 21 April 2026 at 16:00 CEST and close on 21 October 2026.
