Dear Colleagues and Friends,
After more than two years, it is time for our community to come together, share the latest research, discuss clinical applications, and enjoy valuable networking opportunities.
On behalf of the Scientific Committee, we are delighted to invite you to the International Conference The Microbiome Throughout Life – Translating New Science into Clinical Practice, which will be held in the vibrant city of Belgrade, Serbia, from March 19th to 21st, 2026.
This year’s theme, Translating New Science into Clinical Practice, reflects our commitment to bridging original microbiome research with real-world medical applications that improve patient care across the lifespan.
This high-level scientific event will bring together a multidisciplinary community of microbiome researchers, gynecologists, neonatologists, pediatricians, gastroenterologists, and industry leaders. Together, we will explore cutting-edge discoveries and their clinical applications, highlighting the essential role of the microbiome at every stage of life.
Join us as we bridge science and practice in a dynamic forum designed to foster collaboration, inspire innovation, and shape the future of microbiome-informed healthcare.
