The Eurovirology Congresses, renamed European Virology Congresses, were initiated in 2000 to bring together young and senior investigators from all Countries of Europe and from all branches of Virology. The aim was to strengthen Virology in Europe, by providing a platform for basic, medical, clinical, veterinary, and plant Virology. Congresses were held sequentially in UK, Spain and Germany. Importantly, they have fostered the foundation of the European Society for Virology.

The program includes: four plenary sessions, one for each day, whose topics and confirmed invited speakers, twenty-seven workshops, each one covered by a sate-of-the-art invited speaker, and by short talks that will be chosen from the submitted abstracts by a panel of experts, specific workshops to cover the hot topics in medical/clinical virology.
