Dear colleagues and friends,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 36th Annual Meeting of the Society of Virology (GfV) at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, taking place on Westend Campus from March 1 to March 4, 2027.
As in previous years, the meeting will cover a wide range of topics in basic, translational, and clinical virology. The program will feature keynote lectures by leading experts, as well as workshops and short oral presentations. This year, we intend to focus on key topics including virus evolution, emerging and reemerging viruses, virus-host interactions, structural virology, immunology and vaccinology.
We also look forward to creating many opportunities for networking, discussion, and idea exchange between sessions, at the poster area, and during the social events. In addition, we are pleased to provide a platform for young virologists represented by the “junge GfV” (jGfV).
Set against the impressive architecture and spacious atmosphere of the campus, we hope the meeting will provide an inspiring and enjoyable experience for all. We very much look forward to welcoming you to Frankfurt am Main.
Sandra Ciesek, John Ziebuhr & Friedemann Weber
