On behalf of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC), it is a great pleasure to extend our warmest welcome to the 21st International Congress on Infectious Diseases (ICID) 2026, to be held in Madrid, November 2026.
We are truly honored that our capital city will host this prestigious global meeting, bringing together specialists, researchers, and professionals from all fields related to infectious diseases and clinical microbiology. Madrid—an open, vibrant, and cosmopolitan city—will offer the perfect setting to share knowledge, foster international collaboration, and discuss the global challenges we face in infectious diseases and public health.
At SEIMC, we are deeply committed to scientific excellence and international cooperation, values that lie at the very heart of both SEIMC and ISID. We are confident that this Congress will provide an exceptional opportunity to exchange experiences, present cutting-edge research, and strengthen the global network of experts dedicated to improving health and well-being worldwide.
We also invite you to enjoy the cultural richness, history, and hospitality of Madrid, a city that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation. It will be a true pleasure to welcome you to ICID 2026, an event that we are sure will be both intellectually stimulating and personally rewarding.
