Find out our innovative poster presentation format

In this edition we will have the ISI Arena, which will be an innovative environment, different from the traditional areas of exhibition of scientific posters. In the ISI Arena, the interaction of the authors among themselves and with the participants of the event will be the great differential. Each author will have their space to receive visitors, and their posters can be presented on the digital totems available in the environment, whenever necessary.

Of the more than 180 posters submitted, 90 were selected by the Scientific and Technological Committee of the 7th ISI, 6 of which will be presented orally in plenary and 27 will be presented in pitch format on the stage of the ISI Arena. But all 90 chosen will have their space in the exhibition in person, in any of the digital totems shared, and virtual, through the app.
With this new dynamic we optimize the space, give more autonomy and comfort to the authors, stimulate networking and adopt a more sustainable posture.

Come and interact with the authors of the works exhibited at the 7th ISI, either in person at the ISI Arena or through the event app, and get to know what is newest in the scientific and technological development of immunobiologics in Brazil. And don’t forget to vote, through the app, for your favorite works to compete for the Popular Jury Award.

ISI Seminar Series

ISI will present a seminar on “How to Publish – Editor’s View” in partnership with Springer Nature and The Lancet, to encourage and give valuable insight to 7th ISI poster authors and all other researchers who are interested in publishing the results of their work in scientific books or articles. This event will not have simultaneous translation and the talks will be presented in Portuguese or Spanish.

The Event​

The seventh edition of the International Symposium on Immunobiologicals (ISI) will have as main objectives the promotion of innovation, the generation of cutting-edge research and networking opportunities among experts to accelerate the development of biotechnology solutions to public health problems. In the 2021 edition, the ISI gained a digital format, which allowed remote participation in the lectures, round tables, mini-courses and workshops, which were broadcast in real time from the virtual platform specially designed to respond to this new reality imposed by the pandemic. In 2022 ISI became a hybrid event, which also had face-to-face sessions following all the security protocols, once the pandemic stage made it possible to return to some physical contact. But in 2023, the event will be primarily face-to-face, with participatory activities to encourage knowledge exchange and interaction among participants.

Whether in person or through the virtual platform, ISI is the ideal space to seek cutting-edge knowledge in biotechnology worldwide, meet leading researchers and scientists, share what you are doing and hear feedback from your peers in the poster area, as well as get updates on important topics for careers in the field and find out what prominent companies in the market are offering.

Registration

Take part in the 7th ISI!

Participation in the 7th ISI is free and open to all professionals or students, as well as researchers in the field of immunobiologicals and related areas, from institutions involved in production and/or technological development of vaccines, biopharmaceuticals or reagents for diagnosis, as well as those involved in the public health area. They are also aimed at entrepreneurs, startups, investors and development agencies. Registration is free for both Brazilians and foreigners, as long as they meet the above requirements.

Poster Exposition

Poster submissions to the 7th International Symposium on Immunobiologicals are now open

Do not miss out on presenting your work at the 7th International Symposium on Immunobiologicals. 

Poster submissions are open until March 7. 

Unpublished papers on vaccines, diagnostic kits and biopharmaceuticals, management, or other related topics can be submitted until March 7. There is no limit to the number of abstracts to be submitted per author. If selected, papers will participate in the poster exhibition, which in 2023 will again be in person during the event, increasing visibility and possibilities of interaction with peers. But it also continues to have its virtual promotion, with space for the abstract, video and poster, as well as the possibility of chat with participants and videoconferences. Be sure to submit your work!
