The symposium is a forum for those who wish to exchange and share their experiences, ideas and research on all aspects of epidemiology and infection control. The Symposium will also include a public engagement workshop given by the incredible team at Sense about Science.
It will also provide the chance to hear from Fin Twomey, Head of Animal Public Health at Defraand Jonathan Van-Tam, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England, our premier keynote speakers. They will discuss the most recent innovations, trends, challenges and adopted solutions in the fields of epidemiology and infection control.
All Early Career Scientists (including undergraduates, doctoral students, and early post-docs) are encouraged to contribute to and help shape the conference through submissions of their research abstracts, papers and e-posters. The symposium welcomes contributions from any area of applied microbiology as well as work that addresses the themes and topics of the conference.
