ENEA is proud to announce its active participation in FEMS MICRO 2025, Europe’s premier congress and exhibition for microbial research, taking place from 14th-17th of July 2025 at the Allianz MiCo Convention Centre in Milan, Italy.E Organized by the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) in collaboration with Italian scientific societies and international partners, this year’s congress embraces the theme "Magnifying Microbial Impact". With dedicated focus areas including Eco Innovation, Health Horizons, Biotechnology and Engagement & Growth, the event offers a dynamic platform for meaningful learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and professional development, designed to inspire and empower the next generation of microbiologists. FEMS MICRO 2025 will bring together researchers, policymakers, industry leaders and early career scientists to explore the frontiers of microbiological research and its applications to global challenges, spanning eco innovation, biotechnology, health, and science engagement. The workshop is organized in a series of parallel sessions for oral communications, plenary lessons, a poster session and a final plenary session.

ENEA will contribute to this high-profile event through one oral communication, one short communication, and four poster presentations, reflecting the organization's multidisciplinary expertise and commitment to European and national research programs.

Oral Communication
