Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Microorganisms, I am pleased to announce the winner of the Microorganisms 2024 Travel Award. The award has been granted to Dr. Ruairi Robertson, a post-doctoral research fellow at the Institut Pasteur, France.

As the awardee, he will receive an honorarium of CHF 800 and an electronic certificate.

The evaluation process and final decision were challenging with so many high-quality applicants. We would like to thank all the applicants for submitting their diverse and fascinating range of research topics. On behalf of the assessment committee, I congratulate the winner on their accomplishments.

Editor-in-Chief Nico Jehmlich,
