Microbial Interactions in Biofilms and Microbiomes: From Natural to Industrial Settings is a one-day international conference bringing together leading scientists and early-career researchers working at the forefront of microbial ecology, biofilm research, microbiomes, evolution, and biotechnology.
The conference will feature a full day of scientific sessions, including invited plenary lectures, research talks, early-career researcher presentations, and an interactive poster session. The programme is structured to reflect the breadth of microbial interaction research, spanning natural, clinical, industrial, and engineered biofilms and microbiomes.
Sessions will cover key themes such as:
- Interspecies cooperation, competition, and communication
- Biofilm organisation, resilience, and adaptation
- Metabolic cross-feeding and community-level function
- Antimicrobial tolerance and resistance in complex communities
- Synthetic and engineered microbial communities
Dedicated networking breaks and exhibition periods will provide opportunities for discussion, collaboration, and engagement with academic, industrial, and research-network partners.
