14 – 17 April 2027
The 14th International Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Symposium, organized by the iRSV Society, will be held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, from 14 to 17 April 2027, chaired by Professor Federico Martinón-Torres
Once again, it is anticipated that the event will bring together leading RSV researchers, clinicians, and public health experts from around the world. The four-day scientific meeting program will include the latest research on RSV and other respiratory viruses, in thematic sessions. Introductory keynote talks will be followed by short talks from submitted abstracts and there will also be a formal Poster Session. There will be ample time for Networking during each day’s activity.
The Symposium will be preceded by an RSV Mini School on Tuesday, 13 April.
Professor Martinón-Torres has played a leading role in implementing RSV immunisation strategies to enhance prevention efforts across high-, middle-, and low-income countries, and his leadership in organising this Symposium will be instrumental.
The meeting will feature the José Antonio Melero Early Career Investigator Award and Chanock Award Lectures.
