On May 3 2022, Flanders Vaccine is organizing a COVID-19 symposium: from epidemiology to intervention at the CommunicatieCampus in Ghent.
Renowned experts from the Flanders Vaccine network will share their latest scientific data on the current situation and expectations and needs for the future regarding COVID-19 vaccine developments, evolution of variants, perspectives for therapies and global access to COVID-19 vaccination.
Key questions will be addressed during the Q&A session, moderated by Prof. Pierre Van Damme, UAntwerp and Frank Vandendriessche, PhaRa.
Flanders Vaccine’s events are hotspots where scientists, clinicians, business developers, industry and other key players in the field of preventive and therapeutic vaccine development connect and expand their networks and insights.
We hope to welcome you in Ghent to exchange innovative ideas, explore new opportunities for collaboration and have a drink together!
