ABOUT DMS

The Danish Microbiological Society (DMS) is a professional asso-ciation working in the field of human and veterinary medical microbiology, general microbiology, food microbiology, environ-mental microbiology, biotechnology, and virology. The Danish Microbiological Society is dedicated to the advancement of microbiology both as a medical and basic scientific discipline. It also promotes information for the public. These aims are achieved by organizing an annual symposium, workshops, conferences, courses in continuing education, and by taking part in current microbiology debates.
Are you working in the field of human or veterinary medical microbiology, in food microbiology, environmental microbiology, general microbiology, or virology in a diagnostic lab, research lab, hospital or industry? If your work has to do with microorganisms or viruses, take note of the Danish Microbiological Society. Take part in the advancement of microbiology in Denmark, and become a member of the Danish Microbiological Society.
As a member of the Danish Microbiological Society you are entitled to discounts at FEMS meetings and FEMS journals (Federation of European Microbiological Societies).

 

 

ABOUT the Symposium

This symposium of the Danish Microbiological Society is a local Danish meeting in which all scientists working in different areas covered by the DMS have a chance to meet each other. Besides the oral and poster presentations, the meeting will give scientists the possibility of getting acquainted with the newest laboratory equipment and consumables presented by the companies in a technical exhibition.
The symposium will take place at the University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Life Sciences, on Nov. 9th, 2010. This timing takes advantage of a week at the University with no teaching. This allows for reasonable prices at the meeting, including the symposium dinner.
