<p>About</p> <p> </p> <p>The European Conference of Virology will discuss the topic Anti-viral Immune-metabolism, Antiviral therapy, Archeovirology, Broadly reactive antibodies as immunotherapy, Comparative pathogenesis, Congenital and neonatal infections, Emerging viruses at the human-animal interface, Evolution, and more.</p> <p>Dear colleagues,</p> <p>With great pleasure, we invite you to participate in the 7th Meeting of The European Society for Virology (ESV), to be held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 28 April – 1 May 2019.</p> <p>ESV was founded in 2008 to provide a forum for investigators of human, animal, plant, fungal, insect, archaeal and bacterial viruses. Our intention is to organize a meeting that will be of interest to this broad range of virologists, in a manner that stimulates discussion and collaboration among scientists active in all aspects of virology. To reflect this, we have installed a scientific advisory board with leading scientists from each of these areas. The meeting will have a mixture of 6 cross disciplinary plenary sessions, and 20 thematic sessions, for which we are currently receiving suggestions from a wide range of virologists. Each session will host a state-of-the art speaker. We are delighted that professor Racaniello has agreed to be present to record some TWIV podcasts. As the meeting will be held in a theatre, we expect to be able to do this in front of an audience, for which we will give preferential access to PhD students and post docs.</p> <p>We look forward to welcoming you to <a href="https://www.ecv2019.com/discover-rotterdam/">Rotterdam</a>, a great multi-ethnic urban city and famous for its prominent skyline, the biggest harbor of Europe, fine museums and restaurants, modern architecture and maritime tourist attractions.</p> <p>Marion Koopmans (Rotterdam) and Ben Berkhout (Amsterdam)</p> <p><img alt="" height="342" sizes="(max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px" src="https://www.ecv2019.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/marion.png" srcset="https://www.ecv2019.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/marion-200x300.png 200w, https://www.ecv2019.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/marion.png 228w" width="228" /> <img alt="" height="340" sizes="(max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px" src="https://www.ecv2019.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ben.png" srcset="https://www.ecv2019.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ben-200x300.png 200w, https://www.ecv2019.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ben.png 227w" width="227" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>For registration: <a href="https://www.ecv2019.com/register/" target="_blank">https://www.ecv2019.com/register/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
