Call For Proposals: Event Organizers for International Microorganism Day 2024

We invite interested individuals and organizations to organize their own International Microorganism Day event in their country on or around the 17 September 2024! International Microorganism Day is a global celebration of microorganisms and their contributions to life on Earth. By organizing an event, you can help raise awareness of the importance of microorganisms and their impact on human health, agriculture, the environment, and more.

To participate, you can organize any type of event that showcases the diversity and importance of microorganisms. This could include:

  • Public lectures or seminars on microbiology-related topics

  • Microbe-themed art or music events

  • Exhibitions of microorganisms or related technology

  • Hands-on microbiology workshops or laboratory demonstrations

  • Science communication events for the general public

You may browse though the IMD 2023 events to get some inspiration!

To apply, please complete this event proposal form providing details of your event. Proposals should be submitted by 1 June 2024, to IntMicroDay@outlook.com. If you miss this deadline, don’t worry! We will be updating the IMD website with new events submitted to us on a rolling basis on the 1st of each month (1 June, 1 July, 1 August and 1 September) until International Microorganism Day on 17 September.

Successful event proposals will receive non-financial support from the International Microorganism Day organizing team, including access to promotional materials and resources, and your event will feature on our website as we aim to showcase everyone’s efforts from across the globe.

Don't miss this opportunity to join a global celebration of microorganisms and their contributions to our world! We look forward to receiving your proposals.
