Coming soon: ANRS MIE Scientific Days

Each year, ANRS MIE brings together the scientific community and public decision-makers for its Scientific Days, a two-day event dedicated to a strategic theme aimed at strengthening and accelerating research on infectious diseases.

The theme for the 2026 edition will be “Innovation to accelerate the response to infectious diseases”. Epidemic crises, which are major health emergencies, mobilise all healthcare stakeholders and are also a powerful driver of innovation.

Over the course of these two days, our speakers will present recent advances in research against infectious diseases: from prevention—particularly through vaccines—to diagnosis and treatment, not to mention the economic dimensions, international cooperation, and public-private partnerships.

Find the detailed programme and register below.

For all interview requests, please send your enquiries to: presse@anrs.fr.
