Every two years ESWI organises the largest European-based influenza conference. 

Assembling the most renowned scientists and experts from a multitude of fields to showcase recent advances in basic science, stimulating the scientific debate and to identify new research routes. 

It includes the popular Science and Policy Interface (SPI) track, a delineated programme track for public health officials and policy makers. This SPI track ‘translates’ the newest scientific data and presents good practices about influenza and other respiratory viral policy measures and recommendations.
