International Congress of Virology

描述（由申请人提供）：国际病毒学大会（ICV）是病毒学领域的首要国际会议。会议涵盖了病毒感染的各个方面，包括细胞进入，复制和组装，发病机制的分子基础以及预防和治疗。第16届ICV将于2014年7月28日至8月1日在魁北克蒙特利尔举行，包括全体会议、同期研讨会和海报会议。全体发言人将介绍有关病毒与受感染细胞和生物体的动态相互作用以及宿主对抗感染的对策的前沿发现。讲习班召集人是根据他们在每一次会议所涵盖的专题方面的专门知识而选出的，他们将在每次发言后主持热烈和公开的讨论。研讨会的发言将从提交海报会议的摘要中选出。选择将突出病毒研究中令人兴奋的新发展，重点是年轻的科学家，包括新的研究人员，博士后研究员和研究生。海报会议是ICV的一个重要和突出的方面，为与会者提供了另一个展示和讨论他们研究的机会。会议参与者将包括知名的已建立的研究人员谁作出了开创性的贡献，该领域，年轻的研究人员推出独立的研究生涯，博士后研究员和研究生，以及来自行业的研究人员，都来自一个多元化的，国际社会。ICV将与国际细菌学和应用微生物学大会以及国际真菌学大会一起举行，从而为微生物学广泛学科的互动提供了独特的机会。每天的衔接会议，包括诺贝尔奖获得者研讨会，将汇集所有三个会议的与会者。要求提供部分资金，用于支付选定与会者的会议费和差旅费及住宿费，特别是应邀作为全体会议发言人的年轻调查人员，以及有前途的新调查人员、博士后研究员、研究生和来自发展中国家的调查人员，他们将在同时举行的讲习班上发表演讲。这次会议的影响将是促进病毒学新发现和新思想的自由交流，并促进世界各地研究人员之间的新科学合作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Congress of Virology (ICV) is the premier international meeting in the field of virology. The conference covers all aspects of virus infection, including cell entry, replication, and assembly, the molecular basis of pathogenesis, and prevention and therapy. The 16th ICV will be held in Montreal, Quebec from July 28 to August 1, 2014 and feature plenary sessions, concurrent workshops, and poster sessions. Plenary speakers will present cutting-edge findings about the dynamic interactions of viruses with infected cells and organisms as well as host counter-measures to combat infection. Workshop conveners, chosen for their expertise in the topics covered in each session, will lead lively and open discussions following each presentation. Workshop presentations will be chosen from abstracts submitted for the poster sessions. Selections will be made to highlight exciting new developments in virus research with an emphasis on younger scientists, including new investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. The poster sessions are an important and prominent aspect of the ICV, providing yet another opportunity for participants to present and discuss their research. Meeting participants will include well-known established investigators who have made seminal contributions to the field, young investigators launching independent research careers, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, and investigators from industry, all drawn from a diverse, international community. The ICV will be held in conjunction with the International Congress of Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology and International Congress of Mycology and thus offer a unique opportunity for interactions across the broad discipline of microbiology. Daily bridging sessions, including a symposium of Nobel laureates, will bring together attendees of all three meetings. Funding is requested to provide partial support for conference fees and travel and lodging expenses for selected participants, in particular for young investigators who have been invited as plenary speakers, as well as for promising new investigators, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and investigators from developing nations who will present talks in the concurrent workshops. The impact of this meeting will come in promoting the free exchange of new findings and ideas in virology and fostering new scientific collaborations among investigators throughout the world.
