The Biofilm – Mountain Symposium 2026 will take place in Innsbruck, Austria, bringing together researchers, clinicians and industry experts to discuss the latest advances in biofilm science and its clinical applications. Organised by the Biofilm Centre, the symposium provides an interdisciplinary platform for exchanging knowledge on biofilms, antimicrobial resistance and infection-related research.
The scientific programme explores topics including biofilm biology, host-pathogen interactions, implant-associated infections, chronic infections, antimicrobial therapies, diagnostics, biomaterials and translational research. Through scientific presentations, discussions and networking opportunities, participants can connect with experts from microbiology, infectious diseases, orthopaedics, biomaterials and related disciplines.
The Biofilm – Mountain Symposium is particularly relevant for researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals working in biofilm research, bone and joint infection, fracture-related infection, prosthetic joint infection, microbiology, biomaterials and medical device development who wish to stay up to date with the latest scientific advances.
