Monday, June 3rd is the Big Day!

June 2, 2024 by Edel Aron

AIRR-C Meeting VII – Learnings and Perspectives is starting this Monday, June 3rd, at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, in Porto, Portugal. This meeting is the regular main event of the AIRR Community and allows participants (both in-person and virtual)to enjoy a variety of scientific presentations, discussions, and poster sessions to stay up-to-date with the most recent developments in the field. It is also a great opportunity to engage with colleagues and industry sponsors, and to help early career researchers such as graduate students and post-docs learn more about possible opportunities. A huge thank you to all our sponsors who make this event possible. Your support is invaluable and greatly appreciated!

AIRR VII Meeting Registration is Live!

April 1, 2024 by Edel Aron

The AIRR-C Meetings Sub-Committee is pleased to announce that registration is live for the AIRR-C VII Meeting!

AIRR-C Meetings VII – Learnings and Perspectives will be held in-person at the prestigious Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, in Porto, Portugal. While we are excited to gather in large numbers this June, we understand that not everyone can travel and attend in-person. As such, the Meeting will also be offered as a hybrid event so both in-person and virtual participants can engage and enjoy multiple live-streaming sessions and recorded content, an in-conference app, opportunities to engage with colleagues and industry sponsors, and to network, through the Whova meeting platform.

REGISTER NOW


Optional Group Dinner Ticket

We have secured a fabulous venue for the final night dinner on Thursday, June 6th! Porto is famous for, you guessed it, Port! As part of the group dinner, we have arranged for a brief cellar tour that will include some fascinating history of the region. 

Be sure to register for the group dinner and cellar tour event on the Whova meeting platform. It will take place at the Cálem Port Wine Cellars. Your ticket includes the cellar tour, a welcome cocktail reception, a selection of drinks, and a three course meal (you choose options from a set menu).

Early Bird Discounts & Ticket Types

The early bird discount is available through April 14th on all ticket types including in-person tickets, non-academic/industry tickets, virtual attendee tickets and one-day-only tickets.

AIRR-C VII has a jam packed agenda!

View the current program at a glance, which includes the following keynote speakers:

  • Jeff Gray (Johns Hopkins University, USA)
  • Nicholas Provine (University of Oxford, UK)
  • Bill Schief (Scripps Research, USA)
  • Hedda Wardemann (German Cancer Research Center, DE)

Student/Postdoc Mentoring Session and Match-ups

Are you willing to be a mentor and share your insights and exciting research with the future generation of AIRR-researchers? Are you interested in being mentored? Be sure to sign up when you complete the registration form.

We will host specific sessions for students and postdocs – be sure to check the agenda for the “early career track” and we hope you enjoy the speed networking and career development panel.

Deep Dive Software/Tools Tutorials

There will be 10 different software/tool tutorials at the Meeting and each person can attend two! Be sure to sign up through the Whova meeting platform for the “in-person-only” Deep Dive Software/Tools Tutorials on Tuesday, June 4th, early as space is limited.

Poster Sessions & Short Talks

Our fun and informative poster sessions are back and we have had an overwhelming response with over 80 posters submitted and 10 short talks accepted! Given the frequent demands of people to add additional posters, we have reopened the abstract submission form until April 26th. For those seeking this great opportunity, fill out this form.

Travel Award Application for Early Career Researchers and Students/Postdocs

The AIRR-C VII Meetings Sub-Committee obtained a grant from the EFIS – European Journal of Immunology to help support early career researchers and student/postdoc trainees to attend the meeting in person. If you are interested in learning more and applying, please use this link for access to the secure application form. Competition closes on April 15th, 2024.

Industry Networking Reception and Sponsorship Opportunities

We will be hosting an industry networking reception. If you know of a company interested in participating in this event or in Meeting or Community sponsorship opportunities, please contact us at meetings@airr-community.org for further details.

Meeting Venue Information & Porto Transit Information

The meeting will be held at the FEUP – School of Engineering, University of Porto, Portugal. There are several options for getting there besides walking (by metro, bus, car, or train). Detailed information is available in the Whova meeting platform in the Logistics Center.
