We are happy to invite you to this year’s GLACIER One Health International Symposium, which will be held from 20 to 22 August 2024 at the University of Halle in Halle (Saale), Germany.

This GLACIER symposium will gather top researchers and graduate students from Germany, US, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia and Costa Rica, among others, to share some of the most recent advances of medical, biological, chemical and social sciences to tackle the challenge of infectious diseases and  emerging epidemics. Some of the topics that will be covered are antimicrobial drug discovery & development, bioactive compounds and their effects, immunology and epidemiology, and social impact of infectious disease outbreaks, analyzed within the ‘One Health’ framework.
