Dear colleagues and friends,

It is our great pleasure to organize the Europneumo 2025 – the 17ᵗʰ European Meeting on the Molecular Biology of the Pneumococcus.

With over three decades of history, Europneumo remains an invaluable forum for the informal yet stimulating exchange of cutting-edge insights into the bacterial pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Held every two years, Europneumo attracts renowned academic and clinical scientists from Europe and all over the world, fostering collaboration among early-career researchers and established research leaders in the field.

Europneumo 2025 will take place from May 20–23, 2025, in the beautiful setting of São Miguel, Azores, Portugal. The 17th edition of Europneumo offers an all-inclusive experience, with the registration fee covering both accommodation and meals. Delegates will stay at the event hotel, creating a warm and cohesive environment ideal for networking and meaningful personal interactions.

We look forward to welcoming you to Europneumo 2025 for an engaging and inspiring meeting!

About São Miguel

Recognized among the top 10 best islands in Europe and awarded Best Adventure Destination in the World by the World Travel Awards in 2022, 2023, and 2024, it is truly a destination that captivates every traveler.

As showcased throughout this website, São Miguel features magnificent landscapes that have earned it the nickname "The Green Island." Its lush, rolling hills, volcanic craters, and tranquil lakes create a paradise for nature lovers. The island's geothermal activity is a standout feature, best experienced in the hot springs and geysers of Furnas. This charming town is also known for its botanical gardens and the traditional cozido stew, a unique dish cooked underground using natural steam.
