This year, the 10th International Human Microbiome Consortium (IHMC) Congress 2024 will be held in Rome, Italy. Launched in 2008 in the early stages of microbiome studies, over time the Congress has become a point of reference for experts in the field, researchers, students and companies interested in new developments on this topic. Over the years, thanks to the contribution of experts in the field, the Congress has become an international benchmark, thanks also to the participation of renowned companies. The 10th edition of the Congress aims to promote an ever-increasing interchange between industrial and scientific partners, as well as to expand the number of participants from different study categories.
