ESCMID supports a wide variety of Study Groups (SGs) engaged in advancing scientific knowledge, disseminating professional guidelines and organising educational events in the various fields encompassed by clinical microbiology, infectious diseases and infection prevention. Any ESCMID member can join any number of SGs regardless of experience level or position, all that is needed to join is an active ESCMID membership and an interest in the topic of the Study Group.

Join an ESCMID Study Group

ESCMID SGs exist to support members in the specific fields of interest by organising a number of different types of activities that promote professional development, scientific advances and networking opportunities. ESCMID offers support for these kinds of activities in the form of funding or promotion such as the Study Group Research Grant programme. You can see the SG Standard Operating Procedure for the full details. The SGs are overseen and annually evaluated by the Scientific Affairs Subcommittee. The table below lists all current SGs and from there you can go to the individual SG websites directly.
