YAE Symposia on COVID-19
Open call for speakers#

The entire world is reeling from the coronavirus crisis. While the social and economic consequences are ongoing and dire, scientific expertise has gratifyingly regained its value and research into the virus is moving forward at a phenomenal pace.

One area in particular has achieved almost unprecedented importance, namely that of epidemiological modeling. In our first online symposium on 22.4.2020, three YAE members shared their research into the COVID-19 pandemic with 165 registered participants.

A recording of the symposium is now available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy1qVBs6fHI

Open call for speakers#

We would now like to invite nominations for speakers on any other kind of research relevant for the COVID-19 pandemic, including virology, economics, public health, drug and vaccine development, and other topics. This ongoing call is open to researchers across Europe, including members of the Academia Europaea.

We plan to put together a series of events, organized thematically around different aspects of this most pressing of topics. We seek a set of diverse and well-rounded talks for each event and we will select the most appropriate submissions for each event based on this premise.

For nominations, please contact meetings@yacadeuro.org with a brief CV and abstract for the proposed contribution. The symposia will be recorded and distributed on YouTube to reach the maximum audience.
