<p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p> The 5th Congress of European Microbiologists (FEMS) will be held in the interesting city of Leipzig from July 21-25, 2013. FEMS brings together 46 member societies from 36 European countries, including over thirty thousand microbiologists. This important Microbiology Congress will provide an interesting forum for thousands of European and other international colleagues to appreciate the current state of the art in microbiology during numerous symposia and workshops led by prominent scientists in their field. The meeting will be a chance to discuss solutions to future challenges and to provide topical coverage of key disciplines. Special attention will also be given to young scientists by providing an important number of grants allowing them to attend the Congress.</p>
<p> <b>Examples of key areas will be: </b><br />
Biodiversity <br />
Bioremediation <br />
Biofilms in ecology and medicine <br />
Clinical microbiology and pathogenesis <br />
Eukaryotic microbes <br />
Food microbiology <br />
Microbial stress responses<br />
Molecular microbiology and genomics<br />
Veterinary microbiology <br />
Virology</p>
<p> I look forward to welcoming you to this exciting Congress.</p>
<p> Hauke Harms<br />
<strong>Congress Chairperson</strong> </p>
