You may now access the ESCMID 2014/2015 Yearbook online

The yearbook includes reports on ESCMID conferences, educational courses and study group activities. We no longer post our yearbook to all our members, but ECCMID participants will receive a hardcopy in their congress package.

ESCMID’s new slogan is: MANAGING INFECTIONS, PROMOTING SCIENCE

We have received nearly 150 suggestions for our new slogan. We want to thank you all for your contributions. The author of the winning slogan – and owner of a new iPad mini – is Vassiliki Pitiriga, assistant professor at the department of microbiology, medical school of Athens, University of Athens. Congratulations!
