Tuesday 23rd - Wednesday 24th June 2026

Biology Building, University of York, York, UK. YO10 5DD

The workshop covered all topics within the theme of mobile genetic elements, from their mechanism of action to their impact on hosts and microbial communities. We hosted delegates representing more than twenty institutions from across the UK and EU, and were fortunate to hear a universally excellent lineup of speakers across the two days.

The MGE community was outstanding, and we are already looking forward to the 2027 iteration, hosted by Dr Jamie Hall at the University of Liverpool.
