I-International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS) kuyajabulisa ukumemezela ukuthi i Ingqungquthela ye-19 ye-IUMS uzobanjelwa eLisbon, ePortugal kusukela mhla ziyi-4 kuya kweziyi-6 kuNovemba 2026.
Ngokusekelwe empumelelweni yomhlangano wokugcina we-IUMS owawubanjelwe eFlorence ngo-2024, i-IUMS2026 kulindeleke ukuthi ibe yithuba elihle lokuqhubeka nokuxoxa ngentuthuko yakamuva kwe-microbiology, ihlanganisa ososayensi abasebenza nge-Bacteriology, Virology, kanye ne-Mycology emhlabeni jikelele.
Izihloko ezibalulekile zizofaka phakathi izakhi zofuzo zamagciwane, i-molecular kanye ne-synthetic biology, ukulawulwa kwezakhi zofuzo, i-proteomics, kanye ne-applied microbiology emikhakheni efana ne-biotechnology, isayensi yezokwelapha neyezokwelapha, ukusetshenziswa kwezimboni, kanye nokusimama kwemvelo—kugxilwe kakhulu ekulondolozweni kwezindawo eziphilayo kanye nolwandle. Kuzogxilwa kakhulu ekutheni i-Artificial Intelligence (AI) ingathinta kanjani noma yisiphi isici se-microbiology.
Ngale kwentuthuko yesayensi, lo mhlangano uhlose ukugqamisa indima ebalulekile yamagciwane ekusekeleni ukuphila eMhlabeni. Amagciwane ayisisekelo sempilo yomhlaba wonke, ukuphepha kokudla, ukukhiqizwa kwamandla, imboni, ukuqoqwa kwekhabhoni, ezolimo, ukubuyiselwa kwemvelo, kanye nentuthuko yesayensi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, umhlangano we-IUMS ka-2026 uzogxila ku-“Ngaphandle kwe-Microscope: i-AI kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha ku-Microbiology” ukuze kuxoxwe ngomthelela okhulayo we-AI ocwaningweni nasekusebenzeni kwe-microbiology. Amathuba okuxhumana kanye nokubambisana, ukubambisana okusha kanye nezixhumanisi zokudala ngokubambisana ezinhlotsheni eziningi kuzokhuthazwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imizamo izonikezelwa ekubandakanyeni ososayensi be-microbiology emhlabeni wonke, kuqinisekiswe ukuthi amazwe angenayo imali ephansi kanye nalawo angenayo imali ephezulu ahlanganyela.
