Preparing to IUMS2026: HOT TOPICS MICROBES AND CLIMATE CHANGE
The International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS) is the voice of microorganisms bringing together regional and national societies of microbiology through the world.
Our mission is to foster and promote international exchange, dialogue and collaboration amongst the international community of microbiologists involved in the discovery and applied sciences as well as in development of policy. We seek to align all microbiological societies in raising awareness of the importance of microorganisms in sustaining every form of life on the planet through working towards, and advocating strongly for, the preservation of global microbial diversity.
The aims of the Division of Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology are to further bacteriology and related sciences throughout sponsorship of international meetings, encouraging exchange of information and research in the field of bacteriology and applied microbiology.
The aims of the Division of Mycology and Eukaryotic Microbiology are to further the eukaryotic microbiology, mycology and all related branches of research, encouraging contact among microbiologists, spon¬soring international congresses, symposia, conferences and promoting research and training.
The aims of Division of Virology are to further the discipline of virology and all branches of science related to it, encouraging contact among virologists and interchange of information through sponsorship of international congresses and symposia.
