The European Society for Clinical Virology (ESCV) is a non-profit organization founded in 1997. Since then, it has provided a forum for virologists, scientists and physicians interested in all aspects of Clinical Virology and human viral diseases
The aims of the European Society for Clinical Virology are to promote knowledge of viruses, particularly as it relates to the clinical diagnosis and management of viral diseases, their pathogenesis, natural history, treatment and prevention.
In addition, the Society promotes viral epidemiological studies and good contacts with relevant organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), other official organizations and other virological groups.
28th ESCV Annual Conference will take place in the vibrant city of Porto, Portugal from 16–19 September 2026
