Dear Colleagues ,

On behalf of the Presidium of the Hungarian Society for Microbiology (HSM), the Croatian Microbiological Society (CMS) and the Slovenian Microbiological Society (SMS) we would like to invite you to attend the 4th Central European Forum for Microbiology (October 16–18, 2013) organised by the Hungarian Society for Microbiology with the help of the Croatian Microbiological Society, Slovenian Microbiological Society, and the Foundation of the Hungarian Society for Microbiology at Hotel Helikon, Keszthely on the coast of Lake Balaton (Hungary).

This year is John Snow’s and Richard Wagner’s birth’s bi-centenary, which makes us an opportunity to weave the scientific content of the conference around epidemiology, and microbiological indication of contamination, and enjoy the music of the master of operas at the social events of the Congress.

The 1st and 2nd Central European Forum for Microbiology (CEFORM) held at the same place in 2005, and 2009 attracted participants from Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia and Slovenia. We hope that the 4th CEFORM will appeal to even more colleagues than the previous ones and will be a superb meeting in the beautiful west gate of Lake Balaton.

The official language of the Congress is English. The program will cover all major branches of microbiology and will include invited plenary lectures, introductory lectures (15 + 5 min), lectures (7 + 3 min) and poster sessions. We are looking forward to see you at the Congress and we hope that you will find it a stimulating scientific event and a happy personal experience.
