Two ISSSI Poster Awards, sponsored by the American Society for Microbiology and the Australian Society for Microbiology, will be awarded to the best two posters presented by a research student or an early-career researcher (within 5 years of PhD completion or equivalent). The awardees will each receive 250 USD and a certificate.
The Australian Society for Microbiology (ASM) is a not-for-profit organisation, formed in 1959 as a learned society devoted to furthering the science of microbiology. In 1976, the ASM became an incorporated professional society, and has a membership approaching 2000. The society functions in “bringing microbiologists together” with the objective of advancing the science of microbiology in Australia.
