14th International Veterinary Immunology Symposium (IVIS2025)

On behalf of the IVIS 2025 Organising Committee, it is our privilege to welcome you to the 14th International Veterinary Immunology Symposium (IVIS2025), hosted at the Hilton Vienna Park, Vienna, Austria, from August 11-14, 2025. This is the first time this symposium will be hosted in Vienna, providing a unique opportunity to meet colleagues from Europe and around the globe in this historic and vibrant city. Experience the rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and exquisite local cuisine that Vienna has to offer! Vienna, with its blend of historic charm and modern innovation, is an ideal location to discuss the critical intersections between human societies, their domestic animals, free-living wildlife, and the environments they inhabit. In a context of global change, sustainably improved livestock systems and disease control are essential for not only the commercial livestock trade, but also for subsistence farming, food safety and security, human wellbeing, and biodiversity conservation. In this spirit, IVIS2025 will address the challenging research issues raised for veterinary science in a One World – One Health perspective. IVIS2025 will also bring together experts to share the most exciting results and insights in the field of veterinary science and immunology, including biological mechanisms underlying host-pathogen interactions and specificities, vaccine and therapeutic strategies, innate and protective immunity, disease diagnosis and control, and reagent and methodological developments. This symposium will provide an opportunity for delegates from all involved sectors to engage and network with leaders in the field. Our goal is to host a Symposium that is friendly, safe, welcoming, respectful, and inclusive to all attendees. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. We want to thank the Organising Committee, who are devoting significant time apart from their normal daily jobs to organize IVIS2025, for their dedication and effort in organizing this symposium. The team is working tirelessly to ensure that IVIS2025 will be a truly memorable event.
