dc.description.abstractThe 7th Summer School on Innovative Approaches for the Identification of Antiviral Agents (IAAASS) was held at the Sardegna Ricerche Research Park in Santa Margherita di Pula, Sardinia, Italy from September 23–27, 2024, organized by the Co.S.Me.Se, the Department of Life and Environmental Sciences of the University of Cagliari and Sardegna Ricerche in the frame of Next Generation Virology initiative and the Antiviral DiscoVery Initiatives: Educating Next-Gen Scientists (ADVISE Project) 2024. The Summer School is proposed as an informal high-level event comprehensive of the different scientific souls involved in the design and development of new antiviral drug-candidates and their validation and progression up-to the clinic, and it offers, to a limited number of early career scientists, high-level lectures, networking and mentoring opportunities by internationally recognized scientists in a highly interactive environment. The meeting was a very successful event that convened 21 senior speakers with internationally recognized experience in the field of antiviral research and 60 Early Career Scientists (graduated master students, PhD students and early post doctoral researchers) from 13 different countries (Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the USA).
