为推动国际病毒学及相关领域的发展，促进青年学者间的国际交流与合作，由德国病毒学会和德国防治病毒病学会共同主办的第29届年会，将于2019年3月20日至23日在德国杜塞尔多夫海因里希·海涅大学（Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf）举行。

中国微生物学会病毒学专业委员会与德国病毒学会已建交多年，每届中方或德方会议将会集中组织双方代表参加并互相提供特邀报告人差旅支助。德国病毒学会年会是病毒学专业在欧洲范围内举办的规模最大的学术会议，也是中德学者交流合作的重要平台。本次会议涵盖了基础和临床病毒学的各类主题，大会将邀请国际知名的病毒免疫学、分子和临床病毒学家作主旨学术报告，并包含常规的科学讲习班和墙报交流。我们欢迎年轻的研究人员参会, 并号召病毒学家让学生和工作人员参会。

同往届，中国微生物学会病毒学专业委员会将组团参会，并为参会老师和人员提供集中注册与投稿方式。请务必于2019年1月1日前将报名表和摘要发送至wuying@im.ac.cn。报名表请点击“下载表格”下载。

会议地点—杜塞尔多夫海因里希•海涅大学，始建于1966年，原名为杜塞尔多夫大学。1988年，学校决定以杜塞尔多夫市最引以为荣的儿子–著名诗人海因里希·海涅的名字命名，更名为“杜塞尔多夫海因里希·海涅大学”。埃森大学和科隆大学与之毗邻, 进一步促进了感染和免疫学领域的密切合作。

位于莱茵河畔的杜塞尔多夫市是德国人口第七多的城市，生活质量很高，以其博物馆和美术学院而闻名, 这里曾涌现了许多世界著名的艺术家，其老城以 "世界最长的酒吧" 闻名。

Welcome note：

Dear colleagues, 

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 29th Annual Meeting of the Society for Virology from 20–23 March 2019 at the Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf. 

The annual meeting of the society covers a broad spectrum of topics in basic and clinical virology and attracts young scientists as well as experienced virologists. Keynote lectures by internationally recognized experts in viral immunology, molecular and clinical virology will complement the regular scientific workshops and poster sessions. A major aim of the meeting is to provide a platform for young scientist to present their work and ideas. Therefore, we welcome young researchers to join us and encourage all senior virologists to promote their mentees´ attendance. 

Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf is one of the younger higher education institutions in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Since 1988 the university carries the name of one of the city’s finest sons: the poet Heinrich Heine. Today around 30,000 students study at a modern campus under conditions ideally suited to academic life. The close proximity to the neighboring Universities of Essen and Cologne stimulates intensive collaborations in the field of infection and immunology. 

The state capital Düsseldorf situated at the river Rhine provides an attractive environment with a high quality of life. The seventh most populous city in Germany is an international business center and is also known for its museums and the academy of fine arts, from which world-known artists as Gerhard Richter, Andreas Gursky, Joseph Beuys and August Macke emerged. Düsseldorf is also proud to host the biggest Japanese community in Europe and its old town is notorious for being the “the longest bar in the world”. 

The organising committee is looking forward to seeing you in Düsseldorf! 

Best regards

Jörg Timm
