Don't miss your chance to take advantage of hands-on training at ESCMID Global 2025 with the ESCMID Mobile Lab, stationed right in the heart of the congress! Organised by Claire Rogers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, you will have the chance to explore the world of parasitology, examining diseases like malaria and other parasites from real patient samples.

These sessions are limited to small groups so pre-registration is needed.

Congress and Events

Don’t miss out on the special sessions as a part of Education Friday! These small-group workshops are highly interactive and cover interesting topics like antimicrobial stewardship, artificial intelligence, communication of science and much more. The special sessions require additional sign-ups and have limited space so be sure to visit the website to learn more and secure a spot.

You are invited to attend the AMR Science-Policy Forum co-hosted with the Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (GLG). The programme of this high-level event is centred around how we can connect science and policy to better address AMR globally. In the wake of UNGA 2024, commitments were made and now we need to drive action from a place of scientific understanding. You can see the final programme on our website for more details.

This free event requires no registration and takes place on Friday, 11 April 2025 in Hall 4 at the ESCMID Global venue in Vienna, Austria. We look forward to seeing you there!

Join lead investigators in a highly anticipated late breakers session on the latest results of SNAP & CloCeBa, two important randomised controlled trials for S. aureus bacteraemia management. The session is chaired by Julia Bielicki & Vance Fowler.
