Welcome to Microbiology Teaching and Diffusion Group (D + DM) of the Spanish Society of Microbiology (SEM).
Our group was created on January 29, 2010, making reality what different members of the SEM had already raised on several occasions: the need to direct the attention of our society to the problem of teaching of Microbiology, as well as the dissemination of our science. The first Board of Directors was constituted during the XXIII National Congress of Microbiology (Salamanca, 2011) and our first assembly was held.
The OBJECTIVES of the group we divide them into:
GENERAL:
- Promote the development and exchange of resources and teaching materials and dissemination of Microbiology in an open way.
- Organize periodic biennial meetings of the group and within the framework of SEM congresses.
- Collaborate in updating our social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)
- Organize biennial photography contests. Generate an annual calendar with the most voted photos
- Organize other contests such as microscopic stories
TEACHERS:
- Prepare the map of the teaching offer in Microbiology in Spanish universities.
- Define a set of contents and basic competences of Microbiology at the level of undergraduate studies.
- Promote a discussion forum on teaching issues open to SEM members.
- Collaborate in the organization of Introductory Courses to Microbiology.
- Coordinate the "Small World Initiative" initiative in Spain.
- Coordinate SEM communication with FEMS Education
OF DISSEMINATION:
- Analyze the dissemination of topics related to Microbiology in the media and influence the accuracy of said information.
- Organize and participate in dissemination activities of Microbiology.
Group D + DM is a cross group within it SEM. Being aware that many members of the SEM develop different quality and interesting activities related to the objectives of this group, we want to encourage you to use the framework offered by our group to develop all your initiatives in teaching and dissemination of microbiology.
Cheer up to participate!

Youth GroupSEM Researchers - JISEM
Responsible: Ignacio Belda
This working group arose with the idea of promoting, disseminating and facilitating access to research in Microbiology for students in their final cycles as well as the relationship between researchers in their early scientific stages. It is an autonomous group within our group. For information, click here.
The teaching map of Spanish Microbiology
Responsible: Montserrat Llagostera <Montserrat.Llagostera@uab.cat>
The objective of this group is to collect data on the offer of subjects in the field of Microbiology in the official degrees and master's degrees offered in the different Spanish universities, in order to study the educational panorama of Microbiology and generate proposals on the content of related subjects. For more information, click here: Microbiology Map
Coordination of teaching resources
Responsible: Víctor Jiménez Cid <vicjcid@ucm.es>
The Group intends to stimulate the development of teaching tools created by Microbiologists, collect them and publicize them among the partners for their sharing. The group will be responsible for seeking evaluators to confirm that these tools, whatever their format (image, text, video, audio, web environment, blog ...) have sufficient pedagogical value and scientific rigor to be endorsed by the D + Group D SEM.
Microbiology on the web
Responsible: Manuel Sánchez Angulo <m.sanchez@umh.es>
The objectives of the group are:
- Collect and disseminate news of microbiological interest that have appeared in the media and, where appropriate, correct or warn about possible errors and inaccuracies. - Disseminate the most outstanding results in the field of Microbiology.
- Promote on the web and on social networks the informative and educational activities carried out by the members of the SEM.
- Present and debate teaching methodology proposals to be used in the current information society.
Photographic file
Responsible parties: Dolo Vidal and Manuel Sánchez Angulo
The objective of this group is to create an image archive on the SEM website, which collects microphotographs of microorganisms, photographs of cultures and various techniques used in Microbiology. Representative images of the history of Microbiology, and in particular the history of SEM, will also be included. This file will be freely accessible, for educational purposes. If you want to contribute images to the SEM repository, contact us.
Scientific dissemination of the SEM
Responsible: Guillermo Quindós <guillermo.quindos@ehu.eus>
El objetivo principal de este grupo es identificar y promover la difusión de los principales logros científicos de los miembros de los grupos especializados de la SEM. Este objetivo se pretende alcanzar actuando como nexo entre los responsables de los medios de difusión de la SEM (SEM@foro, anteriormente denominado Actualidad SEM, NoticiaSEM, y las páginas en redes sociales como Facebook, Twitter, etc.) y los grupos especializados. Además se promoverá la creación de nuevos canales de divulgación y el contacto activo con los medios de comunicación externos a la SEM (periódicos, radio, televisión, etc.) para aumentar esta difusión. El grupo coordinará su labor con otros grupos de trabajo y de forma más estrecha con los de "Microbiología en la web" y "Microbiología y Televisión".
Coordination with FEMS-Education
Responsible: Kika Colom Valiente <colom@umh.es>
History of Spanish microbiology
Responsible: Alfonso V. Carrascosa Santiago
The fundamental objective of this working group is to promote the study, dissemination and teaching of the History of Microbiology developed in Spain since the beginning of this scientific discipline. The Spanish Society of Microbiology previously started this activity, focusing on microbiologists directly related to it. In this new stage, this line will continue, trying to incorporate knowledge that will allow disseminating the trajectory of SEM from its origins and that of other institutions and researchers that have allowed us to get to where we are in the microbiological field at an international level.
