Abstract submission is open!
To submit a work related to the topics listed in the short program, fill in the link below. If you have something to share that is related to the summit but does not fit in any of the sessions, the “out of the box” option is what you are looking for!
Due to limited presentation time, 2-4 abstracts will be accepted for each session. Abstracts not accepted for the session may be considered for a digital poster session (2-minute oral presentation), but not all will be selected.
Call for Community Project!
Do you have any ideas for a summit initiative? Pitch it by filling out the Community Project link. The selected initiatives will be presented in the dedicated session to find other people interested and form a study group. We will happily support any project related to reproducibility, collaboration, and interoperability in omics-derived RNA virus discovery.
Important dates
- Deadline for Abstract Submission: 31 March 2025
