The 27th National Infectious Diseases Conference (JNI) will be held in June 2026 in Paris, at the Palais des Congrès. For the first time hosted in the capital, the event will bring together the full infectious diseases community—healthcare professionals, researchers, allied health professionals and students—around a rich and multidisciplinary scientific programme.

The conference will provide an overview of recent advances and key challenges in the field, covering in particular therapeutic developments, emerging infectious threats, diagnostic innovations and public health issues. It will also offer a valuable forum for discussion and knowledge sharing among stakeholders, in a context marked by the constant evolution of infectious diseases and response strategies.
