The Gesellschaft für Virologie (GfV, Society for Virology) is a non-profit association and academic society whose goal is to promote virology in all its subfields within German-speaking countries. This is achieved through scientific conferences, the promotion of publications and scientifically driven dialogue, and collaboration with other scientific societies. A particularly important concern of the GfV is the advancement of academic education and professional development, with a focus on supporting early-career researchers.
