The Respiratory Virus Repository Antwerp (ReViRAnt) and the Belgian National Reference Center (NRC) for Respiratory Pathogens invite you to its joint symposium, bringing together experts in clinical microbiology, epidemiology, and public health. This event will provide critical insights into respiratory pathogen surveillance, diagnostic advancements, and pandemic preparedness.

The symposium will feature keynote speakers, scientific sessions on respiratory virus surveillance (such as RSV, influenza, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and avian flu), and discussions on alternative monitoring strategies, including wastewater surveillance. The evening session will focus on public health policies, vaccine interventions, and lessons learned from respiratory outbreak management.

Join us for an engaging afternoon and/or evening of knowledge exchange and collaboration with leading scientists, policymakers, and industry experts.

This symposium is jointly organized by the Respiratory Virus Repository Antwerp (ReViRAnt) and the National Reference Center for Respiratory Pathogens, a collaboration between UZ Leuven/KU Leuven, Universitair Ziekenhuis Antwerpen (UZA), Universiteit van Antwerpen, and Sciensano.
