Red Dot for ESCMID
Scholtysik has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Award 2025 in the Brands & Communication Design category for its brand identity and event design for ESCMID, the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
The rebranding of Europe's leading medical society for microbiology and infectious diseases supports its strategic realignment as a global leader. With 13,000 members, 20,000 congress participants, 34 study groups, widely cited journals, international certification programmes, and medical guidelines applied worldwide, ESCMID is now one of the largest medical societies in the world. In view of the global threat posed by antibiotic resistance, new infectious diseases and the spread of misinformation, the new brand identity communicates ESCMID's expanded mission in research, education and industry cooperation more clearly to the outside world and underlines the organisation's increased responsibility.
The dynamic and variable brand identity emphasises ESCMID's scientific focus and open, networking character and helps increase outreach and communication impact on digital channels and live events.
