Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases 2021 meeting

Du 14 juin 2021 au 17 juin 2021

Par visioconférence

 

The meeting will take place in a virtual environment and will run over 4 consecutive afternoons

Given the ongoing incertitude concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 EEID meeting will be entirely virtual. After last year’s cancellation, we think it is important to provide a platform where the EEID community can meet again, and where young (and not so young) scientists can exchange ideas and results and foster new collaborations.

The meeting will take place in a virtual environment (gather.town) and will run over 4 consecutive afternoons (14-17 June, 3pm – 7pm Central European Time).

Each afternoon will start with two keynote speaker presentations, followed by an extensive discussion on 4 different topics:
  • 14th June: The crazy life of microbes (keynotes: Stéphane Blanc and Kimberley Seed)
  • 15th June: Diversity of host resistance to pathogens (keynotes: Jean Benoit Morel and Anne Chevalereau)
  • 16th June: Using genomics and immunity to infer pathogen dynamics (keynotes: Katrina Lythgoe and Henrik Salje)
  • 17th June: Disease control: epidemiological, ecological and evolutionary consequences (keynotes: Jess Metcalf and Scott Nuismer)
To minimise screen time, there will not be any short talks. Instead we will provide a rich ‘poster’ environment, where poster-presenters will be on hand to present and discuss their research with other participants. The bravest of them all will be able to submit a 1-minute ‘teaser’ to accompany their poster (please see the ‘Poster’ page for more information). We will also provide numerous ‘meeting rooms’ for those of you who wish to get together to discuss science.

The meeting is entirely free (no registration fee) but registration is compulsory.

General registration will open on May 18th and will be available until June 7th.
