Last year, we saw new developments in the field of microbiology again. Especially in the regulatory area of pharmacopoeias, there are approaches worldwide to consider new techniques, implement strategies such as 3Rs, and provide support in establishing and validating modern and alternative methods. For this reason, the European Microbiology Conference 2025 will also address these developments in detail and focus on these global developments on the first day. 

Speakers from the expert groups of various pharmacopeias such as Ph. Eur., USP, ChP, and quality assessors and inspectors from various authorities will provide insights into expectations of changes and their own experiences. 

In addition, individual lecture blocks with speakers from industry and laboratories will focus on relevant topics such as rapid/alternative microbiological methods, monitoring and identification or modern testing for endotoxins and pyrogens to provide participants with a comprehensive picture over the three days. The diverse field of speakers and the current topics will enable a comprehensive discussion of current issues with participants and speakers.

Summary/Highlights:

• International Regulatory Updates – Ph. Eur., USP, ChP and more
• Implementation and Validation of Alternative/Rapid Microbiological Methods
• Current developments in Endotoxin and Pyrogen Testing
• Optimisation in Environmental Monitoring
• Digitization and Automation of Microbiological Testing (Sterility, Endotoxin and more)
