Welcome to the Research Workshop on Bacillus
4th – 6th March 2026, Umeå University, Sweden
This workshop seeks to unite researchers actively engaged in Bacillus and biofilm studies, as well as those entering the field with relevant expertise in associated domains. The primary objective is to facilitate the exchange of insights and concepts, fostering fresh collaborations and synergistic efforts. In particular, the focus of the workshop will be on infection biology and the impact of Bacillus in the “real world”, such as hospitals and biofilms in the healthcare and food industry. Finally, the workshop aims to highlight the biosecurity challenges of B. anthracis. Thus, the secondary aim of this workshop will be to disseminate the experience and knowledge of B. anthracis experts
with regard to the security-related issues related to working with this organism.
This workshop builds on the 2024 Bacillus workshop, run at Umeå University in February 2024, which was attended by 100 delegates from academia, Nordic and international industries, and national laboratories.
The 2026 workshop will be a larger 3-day event, thanks to funding from several sources, including grants from UCMR, FEMS and Valent Biosciences.
Venue: MIT Building, Umeå University
Deadline Abstracts: 15th Jan 2026
