10th Annual Edinburgh Infectious Diseases Symposium Keeping Connected - Edinburgh Infectious Disease Symposium 2021 As ever we are celebrating the range of infectious disease research from across Edinburgh. We are also very pleased to welcome Prof Stewart Cole, President of the Institut Pasteur, as the Ker Memorial Lecturer. Details of the fully-online programme are below. Any updates to speakers or the schedule will be available on the symposium website. We very much hope that you will be able to join us. Please note that spaces are limited to 250 participants.
