Epidemiology conferences

ESCAIDE brings together infectious-disease epidemiology, public-health practice and research. Its programme connects outbreak investigation, surveillance, genomic evidence, modelling and One Health approaches with prevention and health-security decisions. Plenaries examine distributed global public-health leadership and cooperation, the scientific infrastructure behind EU health security, communicating risk when trust is contested, integrated respiratory-infection surveillance, and modelling for public-health decisions. Contributed sessions cover respiratory and food- and water-borne diseases, antimicrobial resistance, surveillance and quantitative methods. Named plenary participants include Shingai Machingaidze (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations / International Pandemic Preparedness Secretariat), Gianfranco Spiteri (ECDC), Helen Brown (Safinea, Ireland) and Magdalena Rosińska (National Public Health Institute, Poland). Their sessions consider evidence sharing and equity, capacity gaps, epidemic intelligence and analytical tools for coordinated responses. The conference runs 18–20 November 2026. Programme times are CET (Europe/Stockholm): the opening ceremony is 09:00 on 18 November; the first plenary is 09:30–10:30 and the EU health-security plenary 17:15–18:30 that day. The published programme is provisional and session details may change. Online participation is free, with unlimited general registration open through the conference days. Physical places are at capacity; on-site registration is limited to issued access codes or the waiting list. This listing offers online attendance through the official registration platform.

Primary-care researchers meet in Toronto to examine how evidence, health services and community participation can improve care. More than 600 research sessions combine oral presentations, posters, workshops and forums. The programme connects clinical questions with qualitative and mixed methods, population data, implementation research and practice-based networks. Martin Roland (Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge) examines how artificial intelligence changes diagnosis, documentation, treatment and coordination while considering continuity, comprehensive care and the continuing human role of family physicians. Andrew Pinto (University of Toronto and St. Michael’s Hospital) explores upstream prevention through shared values, data science, community leadership and collective action on social, economic and environmental determinants. Other sessions address mental health, chronic illness, inequities, prevention and digital health, alongside research capacity and education. Attend in person at The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto, November 20–24, 2026. All schedule times are Toronto Eastern Time (EST, UTC−05:00). Pre-conference workshops begin November 20 at 08:00; the opening reception is 17:30–18:30. Scientific plenaries include November 21 and 24 at 08:30–09:30; the conference closes November 24 at 12:45. Registration is open to members and non-members; category eligibility applies. Early rates run through October 20: physicians USD 795/1,145 and other primary-care researchers USD 770/1,120 (member/non-member). Reduced trainee and community rates are listed; pre-conference workshops may cost extra and require registration. There are no one-day or spouse/guest registration options. Use the organizer’s public registration page and portal.

Examine how African laboratory systems can translate diagnostic innovation into accessible and resilient health services. The programme links country implementation experience with research on antimicrobial resistance, outbreak genomics and integrated diagnostics. Sessions evaluate financing, workforce development, regional manufacturing and procurement, AI-enabled testing and environmentally sustainable laboratory operations. Debates and panels examine how evidence can guide the transition from short-term emergency capacity to durable national systems. 8–11 December. Daily activities begin at 08:00, with plenaries from 09:30; the closing programme on 11 December runs 14:30–17:00. Times: Africa/Johannesburg (SAST, UTC+02:00). Current full-conference fees: US$600 non-members, US$500 LabPro members and US$150 eligible students with proof of status. Day tickets are US$220 non-members or US$200 members. Registration requires an account and payment.

The twenty-third BioMalPar conference connects malaria parasite biology with human-host responses, mosquito vectors and the environmental and public-health conditions that shape transmission. Scientific sessions examine parasite development within hosts, immune evasion and host-pathogen interactions, epidemiology, drug resistance and evolutionary change. Vector biology and mosquito-parasite dynamics are considered alongside systems biology, omics and emerging experimental technologies. The meeting provides a cross-disciplinary setting for researchers at different career stages to relate molecular discoveries to the continuing challenges of malaria control.
