We are happy to invite everybody to the 6th Swiss Molecular Microbiology Meeting on September 6 th and 7 th, 2012 in Villars-sur-Ollon. Traditionally the meeting aims at fostering interaction between young scientists (PhD students, postdocs) from all over Switzerland. Please note that even though this year's focus is on Microbial Survival Strategies, everybody working in the area of Molecular Microbiology is encouraged to participate.
The SWIMM2012 will be preceded (September 5 th until 6 th morning) by a Satellite Symposium of the Conférence Universitaire de Suisse Occidentale (CUSO)-sponsored Doctoral Program in Microbial Sciences. All members of this program are encouraged to participate in both events.
