A SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION FOR MICROBIAL ECOLOGY

MicrobEco is a scientific organization with a common view: disseminate knowledge, strengthen collaboration, create and provide opportunities to learn about, discuss and challenge frontier issues in microbial ecology. We connect scientists and we educate future generations to know and to do not fear microbes.

Our training courses and dissemination activities involved  people of all ages, from students of different education levels to researchers.

ICME SERIES

The International Course in Microbial Ecology (ICME) takes place each year in a different research institution. It is a practical course focused on cutting edge issues in microbial ecology. Participants from all over the world are selected based on CV and according to the specific course topic.

SOFT SKILLS

Reading, managing and writing scientific articles, as well as communicating results to peer-reviewers or to non-expert public and finally planning and raising funds in science are some of the additional skills a young researcher must have to be successful in science within and beyond the academic world.
