Virus Bulletin is seeking submissions from those wishing to present 'last-minute' papers at VB2026, the 36th Virus Bulletin International Conference, which will take place 14-16 October in Seville, Spain.
In addition to the presentations already scheduled on the VB2026 programme, a number of speaking slots have been set aside for 'last-minute' presentations, the aim of which is to present 'hot' research.
Note that the selection committee will specifically be looking for material that is emerging and up-to-the-minute.
Those selected are asked to give a 30-minute talk at the conference in Seville. Since these sessions are chosen so close to the event, we don't require a written paper for the last-minute presentations.
Please use our online abstract submission form to submit a last-minute paper proposal for VB2026. You will need to include:
The abstract submission form can be found here.
Following the close of the call for papers all submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee; authors will be notified of the status of their paper by email. We aim to notify those whose last-minute papers have been selected no later than a week after the close of the call for papers.
One presenter per selected paper will be offered a complimentary conference registration, while co-authors will be offered registration at a 40% reduced rate (up to a maximum of two co-authors).
VB regrets that it is not able to assist with speakers' travel and accommodation costs.
Any queries relating to the call for papers should be addressed to [email protected].
