On 10-12 November 2021 the ReSViNET Foundation will host its 6th conference: “RSVVW'21 - A Global Conference on Novel RSV Preventive and Therapeutic Interventions." The aim of the conference is to learn and to share knowledge on current research and to connect the leading worldwide researchers, scientists, academic scientists, industry researchers, scholars, decision-makers and representatives from the FDA, PATH, WHO, EMA, NIH and BMGF. We endeavor to continue education on RSV and to stimulate discussions regarding the opportunities for future international collaboration and achievements in our field.
