HOW TO REGISTER

The 7th HIC-Vac Annual Meeting will take place on Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th September 2025. The Meeting will take place at Keble College, University of Oxford, UK.

The event is an excellent opportunity to meet and network with other HIC-Vac members and to share knowledge on human infection models to further research in infectious disease, and to hear about the exciting projects our members are working on.
