YING Conference 2024

The European Young Investigators (YING) Conference is an educational event held every two years. It brings together early-career clinicians and researchers working in the field of HIV across the WHO European Region.

 

Organised by a scientific committee of peers, the conference combines plenary sessions, interactive workshops, and opportunities for discussion and exchange. Its purpose is to encourage collaboration, share knowledge, and strengthen professional networks among those at the beginning of their careers in HIV research and care.

 

The programme typically addresses key topics in HIV prevention, treatment, and care, alongside sessions on methodology, career development, and emerging challenges.

 

By creating a space for dialogue and learning, the YING Conference supports the development of expertise and fosters connections across Europe.
