Welcome to the Oxford Emerging Viruses Symposium
Registration for the conference will remain open until the morning of 6th September.
We are delighted to invite you to attend our emerging viruses symposium, which will be held as a ‘virtual-in-person’ hybrid event at Oxford (UK). The symposium will focus on applied research on surveillance and control strategies for emerging viruses.
We welcome proposals for oral and poster presentations in the following general areas of applied areas of virology and serology. We particularly encourage final year doctoral students and early/mid career postdoctoral researchers/junior group leaders to submit oral abstracts, as we believe this event will provide their research an excellent exposure, critical analysis by attending senior researchers and new career opportunities:-
