Connecting Minds - Scientific Symposium on PAIS
Science in Focus: Connecting Minds
Interdisciplinary scientific discourse: From current funding calls and microbiome research to autoantibody signatures.
Post-acute infection syndromes (PAIS) present complex challenges that require not only excellent clinical care but, above all, intensive and advanced research. To understand the complex mechanisms underlying these conditions, strong networking within the scientific community is essential.
The National Reference Center for Post-Viral Syndromes cordially invites you to the scientific symposium “Connecting Minds”. This event is dedicated to an afternoon of in-depth scientific exchange and the identification of new synergies in Vienna and beyond.
The aim of the symposium is to jointly advance our understanding of the pathomechanisms of post-viral syndromes through scientific lectures and discussions.
Program Highlights: The symposium provides a platform for current research findings and future collaborations:
- Research & Funding: Insights into current funding calls serve as inspiration for future projects and highlight opportunities for research grants.
- Focus on Immunology: A special emphasis is placed on immunological processes and their role in the development and persistence of PAIS.
- Project Showcase: Clinical and research groups will present their current work to create direct opportunities for collaboration.
CME Credits: This event is approved for 7 DFP points (Course ID: 1049218)
Take this opportunity for networking and professional discourse at the highest level.
