Education

This course, organised by the ESCMID Study Group for Infections of the Brain (ESGIB) together with the Société de Pathologie Infectieuse de Langue Française (SPILF), has the objective to provide knowledge on model systems of brain infections to both young and established researchers with interactive sessions, methodological based workshops and structured discussions among the participants.

Congress & Events

With the growth of ESCMID Global, the programme has expanded and evolved to encompass a broad range of topics. To facilitate you in navigating the programme, we introduced nine tracks which will automatically filter the programme for the sessions that are relevant to that theme or topic. This allows attendees to access a more digestible programme that only includes the sessions that are of interest to them.

The ESCMID Global quiz show is back again for 2025. This competitive game show took place for the first time in 2023 and since then, it has expanded and improved upon the design offering prizes to win for everyone including the audience. Teams of four are encouraged to apply for participation and the opportunity to win big.

Guidelines & Journals

Substandard and falsified antimicrobials are a neglected global health problem and have been implicated as drivers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Host Angela Huttner is joined by Pernette Bourdillon Esteve, Technical Officer for the World Health Organization’s Substandard/falsified Medical Products group, and Ben Cooper, epidemiologist at Oxford University and head of its Drug-Resistant Infection and Disease Dynamics (DRIaDD), to explore the effects of SF antimicrobials on people and AMR.
