13th International Symposium on the Biology of Acinetobacter
Dear colleague,
After two challenging years of COVID-19, the Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that the 13th Symposium on the Biology of Acinetobacter will be held from June 21-23, 2023, in Coimbra, Portugal.
The meeting will focus on the recent developments of Acinetobacter spp. research and will bring experts from diverse scientific areas (clinical, antimicrobial resistance, environment, genetics, pathogenicity, new therapies, etc). The preliminary programme will be posted soon. We are also inviting you to share your work by submitting abstracts for selected oral communications and poster sessions.
The meeting will start on the Wednesday, June 21st, 2023 with a welcome reception in evening and on Thursday, June 22nd, we will have a dinner to get together in an informal environment. The meeting will finish in the evening of Friday, June 23rd. It is a unique opportunity to share novel scientific knowledge and to initiate collaborations in a friendly setting.
The conference will be held at The Auditorium of the Rectorate of the University of Coimbra, located at the Pólo I of the University, Rua Larga 3000, close to the Old University. The University of Coimbra was established in 1290, one of the oldest universities in Europe, and in 2013 was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in recognition of its historical buildings, open courtyard, cultural traditions and stunning city-wide views. Coimbra is located 50 km from the Atlantic Ocean. You can access the city from the international airports of Lisbon and Porto by train, bus or Coimbra shuttle. It is a touristic city and accommodation can be booked on this site, or independently if you wish, at your earliest convenience. Several options are provided on this site.
We all look forward to meeting soon again, and exchange inspiring discussions on the latest research findings in the Acinetobacter spp. field.
See you all in Coimbra!
Gabriela Jorge da Silva
Organizing Committee Chair
