SSM Annual Meeting 2021- Online (2nd – 3rd Sept)
Our first (and hopefully last) virtual version of the SSM annual meeting was a success! The meeting consisted of three keynote lectures, 25 invited speakers, and 56 contributed talks covering all aspects of microbiology, including highly relevant topics such as Covid. The speakers and moderators came from seven different countries and all major Swiss universities. While virtual conferences have their limitations, we were impressed with the quality of the presentations, the level of engagement from the audience, and the technical implementation of the meeting. We sincerely thank all the participants for their involvement and we look forward to seeing everyone in person next year.
ISME18 - Lausanne 2022 (14th – 19th Aug)
The International Symposium on Microbial Ecology, an event that gathers around 2000 international scientists and is organized normally every two years, will for the first time be organized in Switzerland. It will take place at the SwissTech Convention Center STCC. We hope that the large community of microbial ecology researchers working at Swiss research institutions will actively participate in this important conference.

SSM Annual Meeting 2022- Lausanne (30th Aug-1st Sept)
As you probably know by now, the year 2022 is a special year for the SSM as the society will celebrate its 80th anniversary. The first Annual Assembly of SSM was held in Lausanne in the year 1942. The 80th Annual Assembly will again be in Lausanne, namely at the SwissTech Convention Center STCC. It is organized by Gilbert Greub, Christof Holliger and Pilar Junier.
The motto of the special event is “Celebrating Swiss Microbiology Research”. The different contributions will mainly come from researchers working at a Swiss research institution and from Swiss citizens working at a research institution abroad. We will also have special sessions highlighting the different research programs of national importance, namely the two NCCRs Antiresist and Microbiomes, and the two NRPs 72 and 78.
In case SSM members have creative ideas how to celebrate the SSM 80th anniversary, please share them by mail with secretary@swissmicrobiology.ch.
