2026 Annual Meeting of the Coordinated Action on Hepatitis Viruses and the National Hepatitis Network

26th edition of the annual Viral Hepatitis Network meeting

The two-day annual meeting of the National Viral Hepatitis Network (RNH) will be held on 24 and 25 March 2026 at the Institut Lumière in Lyon, France. This 26th edition will be held in conjunction with the 13^th international workshop of the ANRS HBV Cure Task Force (25-26 March).

These days bring together researchers and doctors to discuss the latest French advances in fundamental and translational research on viral hepatitis.

A forum for scientific exchange and collaboration, the 26th meeting of the National Viral Hepatitis Network will feature presentations by internationally renowned scientists such as Philip Meuleman, Phillipa Matthews and Massimo Levrero (joint session with the HBV Cure Workshop).

Thesis awards

This meeting will also be an opportunity to present the thesis awards, organised jointly by ANRS MIE and the French Society of Virology, for theses defended in 2025 and focusing on viral hepatitis (more information to come on the application conditions). The prize for the best oral presentation, launched in 2024 and awarded specifically to a young researcher, will be renewed this year to continue to encourage and promote the contributions of young scientists.
