Dear Teachers, Learners and Independent Explorers of Knowledge
Welcome to the Gateway of Societally-Relevant Microbiology!
Microbes and their activities are the life support systems of us, all other members of the biosphere, and
the planet itself. They influence our lives and impact our decisions in countless ways. And they are
fascinating, exciting subjects to explore.
On this free teaching-learning platform, you will find the international school curriculum in
societally-relevant microbiology, created by the International Microbiology Literacy Initiative (IMiLI),
whose aim is to promote microbiology literacy in society.
Immerse yourself in the world of living beings you do not normally see but which the IMiLI reveals to you in
words and images.
Get to know and engage the really close friends you never knew you had. And see how they can improve our
lives, solve many of the problems we face, and increase sustainability.
