12th Trends in Medical Mycology

WELCOME TO THE 12TH TIMM 2025!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is a great honor and pleasure for us to cordially invite you to participate in the 12th Congress on Trends in Medical Mycology (TIMM-12), scheduled to take place from September 19th to 22nd, 2025, at the Euskalduna Conference Centre and Concert Hall, Bilbao, Euskadi (Basque Country), Spain.

TIMM-12 is organised by the European Confederation of Medical Mycology (ECMM) working together with the Spanish Association of Mycology (Asociación Española de Micología -AEM) to off er you an attractive scientific and social programme. Over the last decades, TIMM has established itself as an essential first-class global forum where more than 1000 scientists and clinicians present their latest advances and research findings in the fi eld of medical mycology, combined with the provision of targeted educational workshops.

TIMM-12 will cover new fascinating insights into the biology of fungi, intriguing host-fungal interactions, updated diagnostic and therapeutic management approaches, changing dynamics in clinical epidemiology, as well as the emergence of antifungal resistance and newly discovered fungal pathogens. The scientific topics are designed to be from bench to bed for basic scientists in medical mycology, medical mycologists, microbiologists, and a wide range of clinicians specialised in adult or paediatric infectious diseases, haematology, oncology, transplantation medicine and primary immunodeficiencies, critical care, dermatology, as well as immunology, and all others with an interest in medical mycology. TIMM-12 will be an excellent opportunity for all participants to meet face-to-face with old friends and colleagues, make new friends and establish new collaborations in medical mycology.

Don’t miss this opportunity to attend TIMM-12 in Bilbao and experience our rich gastronomic and cultural background. The Basque hospitality will make your participation in TIMM-12 unique and unforgettable. Bilbao is a city where tradition and avant-garde coexist. The Nervión River is our backbone and on its banks are some of the icons of Bilbao’s industrial past and futuristic present, a lively and friendly city to stroll through its bustling streets and taste its good tapas (pintxos) and world-renowned
wines.

Therefore, we warmly invite you to TIMM-12, to visit Bilbao, Euskadi (Basque Country) and enjoy excellent world-leading science with us in a beautiful and enchanting part of the north of Spain.

We look forward to welcoming you to TIMM in Bilbao!
