Science and Research

ESCMID and IDSA are teaming up once again on a new joint webinar exploring the topic of vaccines entitled, “The Power of Prevention: Vaccines in a Changing World”. Four experts will come together to discuss this important topic on 17 June 2025 at 16:30 CEST.

Save the date and we look forward to seeing you there!

Education

Join leading experts for three intensive days of interactive, hands-on training where you will master cutting-edge rapid diagnostics and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) techniques essential for managing bloodstream infections (BSIs). Through practical exercises, real-world case discussions, and personalised feedback, you'll gain the skills to implement innovative testing methods in your clinical practice, improving patient outcomes and supporting antimicrobial stewardship. This course will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to lead the future of BSI management.

This course is targeted at microbiologists and infectious disease specialists who seek updated knowledge on the theoretical and practical aspects of current and advanced diagnosis and management of endocarditis and endovascular infections. The aim is to enhance participants’ understanding of diagnosis, treatment, infection control, improve practices, and prepare for the future.

Congress & Events

We invite students, fellows, and early-career professionals from the ESCMID community to submit a clinical case for the Clinical Grand Rounds session at IDWeek 2025, taking place 19 - 22 October in Atlanta, GA, US.

We are looking for rare or challenging cases that will engage expert panellists and the broader infectious diseases audience.

Submission deadline: 24 July 2025
Format: One A4 page

The ESCMID Foundation for Education has created a new fellowship programme for people working and residing in Eastern European countries or low- and lower-middle-income countries. This fellowship is designed to support these underrepresented regions by funding participants to attend educational events and take that knowledge and organise a follow-up activity in their own country.

The first call for a fellowship to attend the upcoming Vaccines Conference is now open until 16 June 2025. Learn more and apply on the ESCMID Foundation Website.

Guidelines and Journals

ESCMID’s journal, Clinical Microbiology and Infection has an open call to join their editorial team as fellows. These fellowships will train early career professionals on research and adequate reporting methods as well as prepare them for roles as editors. You can read the full call sheet on the CMI website and learn how to apply.

Have you been critical about a clinical standard that is still in practice today? Then you should submit your commentary for the CMI Communications series, “Standing on the shoulders of imperfect humans.” This open call wants to highlight, or rather call into question, seminal articles or SOPs that have been grandfathered into clinical standards and are still practiced now. Submit your piece today!
