Dear colleagues and friends,
It is our great pleasure to announce the Joint EBJIS–MSIS 2026 Conference, taking place in Porto, Portugal, on 17–19 September 2026.
Next year’s Annual Meeting will be held in collaboration with the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS). We believe this partnership will foster valuable exchange of knowledge and strengthen collaboration across the ocean.
