Welcome Note / Invitation
It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 6th European
Congress of Virology (ECV) which will take place from
19-22 October, 2016 at the Congress Center Hamburg
(CCH), Germany.
The European Congress of Virology is the premier virology conference in Europe and is organized by the
European Society for Virology (ESV). ECV2016 will bring
together both junior and senior scientists, and will cover
all aspects of virus research including basic, clinical, veterinary and plant virology.
The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg is Germany’s
principal port and a centre of maritime and aviation
industries, as well as a hub of commerce, media and
science. Above all, Hamburg is a city of hospitality and
openness, characterized by its extraordinary diversity
and tolerance.
The venue of ECV2016, the Congress Center Hamburg (CCH), is located in the city centre,
within easy reach of numerous hotels of all categories.
The science, the planned special events, and the venue itself will make ECV2016 a highly
stimulating and unforgettable international event that should not be missed!
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee,
Prof. Joachim Hauber
President of ECV2016
