Dear colleagues and friends,

it is our pleasure to announce the 2nd workshop of the Society of Virology (GfV) study group “One Health and Zoonotic Viruses” on the topic:

“New and re-emerging zoonotic diseases”

taking place in September 2023, 6th to 8th at the convention center Kloster Wöltingerode in Goslar, Germany.

Our aim is to bring students and postdocs together with experts in the one health field, thereby encouraging and assisting scientific interdisciplinary exchange. We specifically encourage infection biologists, cell biologists, veterinarians and physicians to share their work on zoonotic infections. The interdisciplinary nature of the workshop strives to stimulate new collaborations in one health and viral zoonoses research.

Four keynote speakers will present latest developments in the field and share their unique experience and vision:

  • Prof. Seema Lakdawala, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, PA, USA
  • Prof. Martin Beer, Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute, Riems, Germany
  • Prof. Friedemann Weber, Justus-Liebig-University Gießen, Germany
  • Dr. Allison Groseth, Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute, Riems, Germany

All participants will receive the opportunity to present their work in form of a full presentation or Elevator Pitch and prizes for the best oral presentation and the best Elevator Pitch will be awarded. We will encourage a lively atmosphere with open discussions. We look forward to seeing old faces and meeting new colleagues who share our excitement for viruses and zoonoses.

See you in Goslar!

Yours sincerely,

Yvonne Börgeling (University of Münster),
Gisa Gerold (University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover) and
Lisa Oestereich (Bernhard-Nocht-Institute for Tropical Medicine)
