35th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID)
The CLEO team headed by Prof. Theoklis Zaoutis, participated in the 35th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases, ESPID 2017, that took place in Madrid, Spain, from 23-27 May, 2017. This conference was attended by paediatricians, infectious practitioners, microbiologists and researchers involved in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of infections in children, from all over the world. During the conference, research studies about infections and vaccines against infections were presented.
In addition, distinguished scientists presented the latest developments in the aforementioned fields of research through a series of lectures or training seminars. Several research papers related to infants and children also came from Greece, while CLEO participated with the following abstracts:
Healthcare-Associated Factors Correlated with Nosocomial Neonatal Enterococcal Infection
Epidemiology of Enterococcus spp. Infections from the Neonin Infection Surveillance Network
The CLEO team also participated in the 9TH ESPID RESEARCH MASTERCLASS (ERMC), a closed, seminar type of forum for active paediatric infectious diseases (PID) research groups in Europe. The primary aim of ERMC is to provide better opportunities for young researchers to present their studies and discuss their research with other junior colleagues as well as with European research group leaders. During the Masterclass, the junior researchers will be trained how to present their data, ask questions or chair a session. The second aim of the seminar is to provide the researchers a better view of recent PID research in Europe and also to stimulate discussions of new research collaborations among ESPID members.
