biofilms 11 is the latest conference in the internationally renowned biofilms series showcasing the broad scientific and societal opportunities and challenges of microbial biofilms. a key objective is to capitalise on the interdisciplinary nature of this exciting research topic by fostering discussion and catalysing the exchange of ideas across boundaries.
hosted by the national biofilms innovation centre and the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ , biofilms 11 continues its tradition of focusing on the fundamental understanding of biofilms and their role in driving the dynamics, activity, structure and function of microbial communities. this includes their interactions across microbiomes and viromes, and within environmental, industrial, and health settings.
it will also address cutting-edge technology developments, such as imaging, data-driven, and modelling approaches, integrating advances from both life and physical sciences for research and innovation applications.
the conference will spotlight speakers from diverse career pathways and backgrounds within the biofilm community to offer inspiration and guidance to attendees at all career stages.
cardiff is surrounded by the beautiful brecon beacons national park, the glamorgan heritage coast, and historic castles like cardiff castle and castell coch. it has excellent travel links and connections from london and bristol.
we look forward to welcoming you at biofilms 11!

as part of the preparations for 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ events, the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ council has further discussed the implementation of sars-cov-2/covid-19 mitigations and has agreed the following:
personal responsibility:
attendance at any 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ event is a personal choice, and council expects delegates to take personal responsibility for their actions to minimise the spread of sars-cov-2.
ventilation:
the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ will continue to work with venues to seek assurance that these are adequately ventilated.
vaccination and pre-event testing:
we strongly urge all delegates to ensure they are as fully vaccinated as practicable, which we recognise will depend on their age and home country, and to test before travelling to any of our events. delegates should not attend if they test positive for sars-cov-2 infection. in addition, should they wish to, delegates should feel comfortable wearing a mask in any of our venues.
mask usage and lateral flow tests:
a limited number of masks (ffp3) and lateral flow tests will be available upon request at all 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ events should any delegates wish to use them. however, these will not be routinely supplied.
the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ council will continue to monitor the situation and update these mitigations as required.
further information will be announced in the build up to the meeting on our social media channels. follow us on x (formerly known as twitter) @microbiosoc using the hashtag #biofilms11. we will also be sharing stories on our instagram profile @microbiosoc throughout the event.
