Following an inspiring week in Prague for Viruses of Microbes 2026 (VoM 2026), we are delighted to share more details on the new collaboration initiative between Frontiers in Microbiology and the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR VIRUSES OF MICROORGANISMS (ISVM).

Officially announced at the General Assembly at , this collaboration initiative aims to advance open science and support the global community of viruses of microorganisms through joint activities that benefit researchers at all career stages.

Key initiatives include:

๐ŸŽ“ ECR Editorial Academy - a dedicated program designed to support early-career researchers through editorial training, mentorship, and insights into the publishing process.
๐Ÿค Support for ISVM members - increasing research visibility, providing exclusive opportunities, including APC discounts, and fostering future collaborative initiatives.

We look forward to working together to strengthen our community and create new opportunities for researchers worldwide.

It is with sadness that we learned that Betty Kutter is no longer with us.

A woman of kindness and dedication. A woman of love for phage and people. We do not have enough words to describe how much she did for our lives and our science.

The Evergreen Phage Meeting, organized by Betty for 40 years, brought together people from all over the world. The values of kindness, collaboration, and inclusion she practiced still define our community today.

We are forever grateful for all you did - for phage and for people. Thank you, Betty. We miss you already.

All the worldโ€™s a phage

What a fantastic way to wrap up the first day of !

The ISVM General Assembly brought together members from across our community to reflect on what we've accomplished, share what ISVM is doing for its members, and discuss how everyone can become more involved in shaping the Society's future.

The discussion was lively, with excellent questions, thoughtful feedback, and inspiring ideas from our members. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a positive and productive session. Your engagement is what drives ISVM forward.

Now, on to the rest of an exciting week at !
