ESPID 2020: European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases

Call for Papers

The 38th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID 2020) will take place online, as an entirely virtual meeting, from October 26-29, 2020. 

In this time of uncertainty, we look to transform this crisis into a new opportunity, one that will open a wide and ongoing discussion on our collective local and national experiences and challenges in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, with positive effects reaching beyond the meeting.

Virtual sessions will allow for live interaction and will be available on-demand up to three months after the meeting.

ESPID forms the basis for investigators, clinicians, lab researchers and all those interested in infectious diseases in children and infection prevention in childhood. The Meeting brings together the most prominent researchers - in and relevant to the field of paediatric infectious diseases and immunology - to advance your practical understanding and research capabilities. This is an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge and generate new ideas from wherever you are based.
