Workshops
IPVC 2024 workshops will focus on this year’s theme, “Equitable, Evidence-Based Approaches to HPV Disease”, the meeting promises to be a platform for the reporting of cutting-edge, international, HPV and animal papillomavirus research. Workshops organized by leading scientists and key opinion leaders in their fields will provide an opportunity for delegates to hear “state-of-the-art” developments in basic science, public health, and clinical science.
Workshops will be run by and have speakers who are worldwide leaders in the field. They will provide a unique forum for education and discussion.
Although workshops stand alone as an educational and scientific activity, they are designed to provide the necessary scientific background to follow the main Conference, where the latest knowledge in research will be presented. For junior scientists, the workshops will help them to be educated on both the basics and cutting-edge knowledge of papillomavirus biology, epidemiology, and prevention and control of papillomavirus infections and diseases.
A dedicated early careers track will also provide the opportunity for young scientists to showcase their work and make connections. The workshops will provide an overview to non-experts on all papillomavirus (PV)-related topics, from basic science to global health impact.
IPVC 2024 workshops will be a unique way to connect across the fields, and attendees will enjoy PV research from different perspectives and participate in wider scientific discussions.
