This Conference, which is organized every three years, brings together scientists studying calicivirus virology, evolution, pathogenesis, structural biology, diagnosis, epidemiology, treatment and prevention. Our philosophy is to bring all fields of science together, limiting the number of parallel sessions to allow bridging between basic and translational experts to stimulate collaboration. In recent years, significant and exiting progress has been made in understanding the virus life cycle, the burden and biology of calicivirus infections in humans and animals, the virus interactions with healthy and immunocompromised hosts, interactions with the microbiome, immunity, host genetics and epidemiology. Several treatment strategies and vaccines are under development to control acute and chronic norovirus infections in humans.
