Society for Virology (REG-GfV)
The GfV is a non-profit association and an academic professional society whose goal is to promote virology in all disciplines in German-speaking countries. This is to be achieved through scientific conferences, promotion of publications and scientifically driven dialogue as well as cooperation with other scientific societies. A particularly important concern of the GfV is the promotion of academic education and professional training with a focus on supporting young scientists. The GfV offers advisory services to sponsors of scientific institutions, research-promoting organizations and political and social bodies as far as scientific aspects of virology are concerned.
