The scientific program will include invited presentations and selected oral communications based on abstract to be submitted before April 1st here. The program will be divided into three main sessions:
Session 1. Virus & Cells – Cellular and Molecular neurobiology of infections
Session 2. Virus & Neuropathogenesis – Neurological and neurocognitive dysfunctions upon infection
Session 3. Virus & Immunity – Mechanisms associated with neuroinflammation and antiviral responses

In addition, a networking social event will take place on the first evening. The organization of round-table discussions will also provide a forum to foster dialogue, stimulate new interactions, and encourage joint initiatives leading to future collaborative projects. The following thematic will be addressed:
– Viral encephalitis
– Neurocognitive virology
– Environmental neurovirology

Don't hesitate to spread the word and help make this event a wonderful moment of science and meaningful interactions with other scientists!
