Influenza Update Meetings
These informal and friendly meeting brings together the influenza research community at all career stages from across the UK and Ireland and beyond, to present and discuss ongoing work. Sessions cover a wide range of influenza research.
To make the meeting as accessible as possible, registration fees are limited to the minimum needed to cover costs. Meetings are typically organised towards the end of the calendar year, in order to allow new students to attend.
The 2025 meeting will be held at the University of Warwick (lead organiser Dr Nicole Robb) – details to be announced.
