BISMiS Conference 2027

The Bergey’s International Society for Microbial Systematics (BISMiS) conference 2027 will be held in at Northumbria University in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK, from 29 June - 2 July 2027.

BISMiS conferences provide unique opportunities to scientists working in the fields of prokaryotic systematics, microbial evolution, ecology and biotechnology for communicating their high-quality research with the global community.

The goal of BISMiS is to promote excellent research in microbial systematics as well as enhance global communication among taxonomists who study Bacteria and Archaea. The society also serves internationally as an advocate for research efforts on microbial systematics and diversity.

The society recognizes that the vast diversity of microbial life is the last remaining major reservoir of unknown biological diversity on Earth. A principal goal of the society is to comprehend this vast but largely unstudied diversity with its untapped genetic, enzymic and industrial potential. A basic aim of the society is to foster efforts to isolate novel microorganisms in pure culture and to describe, name and classify them.
