ESGMAC invite you for the first conference for Early Career Mycoplasma and Chlamydia Researchers – ECMCR 2022, taking place virtually on Tuesday 18th October 2022. To promote participation from early career researchers, registration for this conference is FREE.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide the participants with tools on how to phrase a research question; choose the appropriate design and methods to address it; avoid biases; and write an optimal report. Find out more about the programme here.

The course consists of seven online self-paced modules with recorded talks and assignments. A live seminar will be scheduled for each module, for experts to answer your questions. The first module will launch on 7 November 2022. Join the mailing list here to be notified when registration opens.

This course will update the audience on collateral healthcare damages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, concerning prevention and management of infectious diseases, clinical microbiology, IPC and ASPs in LMICs, and will assess strategies for normal activities resumption. Register by 14 October here.
