SME 2025

We cordially invite you to participate in the 9^th meeting of the Swiss Microbial Ecology (SME25) group from Wednesday, January 15 to Friday, January 17, 2025, at the Hotel Allegro (https://www.hotel-allegro.ch/de/). All participants can be accommodated at this unique location, situated between the Einsiedeln monastery (http://www.kloster-einsiedeln.ch/) and the Sihlsee. The SME group is a subgroup of the Swiss Society for Microbiology (http://www.swissmicrobiology.ch/).

In order to explore new forms of scientific communication, we plan to replace traditional posters by 3-minute animated presentations that will be displayed on large screens during special sessions and will also be available online throughout the meeting. Detailed information on the creation and format of such presentations as well as examples will be made available soon.

The organizers particularly encourage young and early career scientists (master and PhD students) to actively participate in this meeting. There will be special awards for the best oral and animated poster presentations given by young scientists.
