It has become a tradition for the BAMP (Bacteriocins and Antimicrobial Peptides) symposium to be a part of the IPC (International Probiotic Conference). In 2024, IPC/BAMP will be held on the 18th-20th of June in Prague, Czech Republic ( www.probiotic-conference.net ) and will reunite scientists, students, and representatives from industry and regulations agencies from all around the world. The meeting will serve as a platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas regarding the past, present, and future of beneficial microbes, probiotics, antimicrobials, and proteins, and their influence on a prosperous and healthier future.
