Welcome to the
Swedish Society for Virology
For all interested in virology
We provide a forum
The Swedish Society for Virology was founded in 2009 to provide a forum for all interested in virology, including clinical, pre-clinical, environmental, veterinary, plant and/or microbial (phage) virology. The aim of the Society is to promote the exchange of information and stimulate discussion and collaboration among scientists active in all aspects of virology.
The Society has from 2020 decided to launch “Pandemifonden” for the purpose of reaching out to the public with information regarding virus infections and pandemics, and also with the aim to raise funding that will strengthen Swedish research within virology, with the long-term goal to hinder pandemic caused by viruses in the future.
The society will present current information regarding upcoming events and meetings, grants, positions, and education opportunities. Contact webmaster if you want to announce for a meeting, positions, courses, jobs etc, that is related to virology.

News: LINXS PandA Initiative – Upcoming Opportunities for the Virology Community
The LINXS (Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science) initiative Pandemics and Alertness (PandA) aims to strengthen collaborations between virologists and researchers using X-ray and neutron techniques, while increasing awareness of how large-scale research infrastructures such as MAX IV and ESS can contribute to virology research and pandemic preparedness.
The Swedish Society for Virology would like to highlight two upcoming PandA activities:
📅 PandA Symposium – Knowing and Fighting the Virus
3–4 November 2026, Lund, Sweden
The first PandA symposium will bring together researchers working on virus biology, structural biology, immunology, advanced imaging, and pandemic preparedness. The programme includes keynote lectures, invited talks, contributed presentations, posters, and opportunities to visit MAX IV or ESS. Registration opens in August.
