Welcome from the Chairs

“Dear Colleagues,

We’re excited to invite you to the Viruses 2026 – New Horizons in Virology conference, happening in Barcelona, Spain, from 11 to 13 March 2026. Sponsored by MDPI and the open-access journal Viruses, this event continues the tradition of successful meetings in Basel (2016), Barcelona (2018, 2020, and 2024), and online (2022). Join us for an inspiring program where you’ll discover cutting-edge research and have the chance to connect with global experts and peers in the field.

We are constantly reminded of the critical importance of virology research as new viral outbreaks impact people, animals, and plants worldwide. This conference aims to bring together international researchers studying various topics related to viral replication, pathogenesis, structure, immunology, epidemiology, public health, and other areas of virology.

We’re excited to feature a diverse lineup of leading experts and welcome abstracts for short talks or posters. This is your chance to share your research, exchange ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions with fellow scientists in an inspiring, collaborative atmosphere.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Barcelona and create an unforgettable experience together.

Sincerely,

Dr. Eric Freed and Dr. Albert Bosch
