We will have a separate workshop on Sunday June 12 on the negative-strand community work on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. The workshop will be a full-day of presentations selected from abstracts specifically submitted for consideration for the workshop. Presentations given in the workshop are evaluated and selected independently of presentations at the remainder of the meeting. The workshop will include coffee breaks and lunch, and will conclude with the opening reception for the NSV meeting. The workshop is only available for attendees who are registered for the NSV meeting.
SOCIAL PROGRAM:
As in past meetings, the scientific program will be complemented by a specially constructed social program to foster interactions among all of the attendees, strengthen our community and provide life-long memories.
The Palácio da Bolsa do Porto is a 19th century building owned by the Porto Commercial Association and is located in Praça do Infante D. Henrique, the former economic and commercial heart of Porto.
The palace no longer works as a stock exchange but remains the headquarters of the Association. The predominant style of the palace is the British Neoclassical, and Palladian style, present, especially, in the search for perfect symmetry in all the building’s volume. The interiors are known for their great artistic variety, you’ll find paintings on the ceilings, sculptures, paintings on the walls and other artistic decoration. In the hall, you can see several different national coats of arms painted on the ceiling: Portugal, England, Italy, Brazil, Russia, Austria etc. Visitors have the tradition of trying to identify every one of those countries.
