Your One Stop for Academic Updates

On behalf of the Organising Committee, I am pleased to invite you to register to attend the 30th Australian Orthodontic Congress, taking place in the vibrant city of Melbourne, Victoria, from 20-23 May 2026—slightly later than usual in the calendar year.

We’re so excited to invite you to join us in Melbourne next May for the Australian Society of Orthodontists Congress which promises to be a celebration of connection, learning, and inspiration.

We’re proud to partner with a vibrant community of sponsors and exhibitors whose ongoing support helps bring the ASO 2026 Congress to life. Throughout the meeting, delegates will have the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore the latest products, and discover innovations that continue to shape modern orthodontic practice. These partnerships go beyond the exhibition floor as they represent enduring relationships built on shared goals, collaboration, and a commitment to advancing excellence in orthodontics. We sincerely thank our sponsors and exhibitors for their contribution and look forward to showcasing their products and services to our delegates in Melbourne.

The 25th Day of Clinical Research (DOCR) is an annual scientific event organized by the Directorate of Research and Education at the University Hospital Zurich. The event brings together clinicians, researchers, healthcare professionals, and academic experts to present and discuss the latest advancements in clinical and translational research. It includes keynote lectures, oral scientific presentations, poster sessions, abstract presentations, networking opportunities, and discussions on innovative healthcare technologies and medical research topics.

The 2026 edition will feature sessions on cardiovascular medicine, oncology, neuroscience, immunology, wearable healthcare technology, clinical AI, endocrinology, and translational medicine, along with award presentations for outstanding research contributions. Participation is free, and the official language of the event is English.

IUIS Veterinary Immunology Committee Webinar: Zebrafish as a high-throughput screening model with strong translational relevance to mammalian immunology.

Zebrafish are increasingly recognized for their ability to support high-throughput studies of immune function. This session will highlight how they enable real-time observation of innate immune responses- including macrophage and neutrophil activity-within a whole organism. It will also examine how controlled microbial environments are leveraged to investigate immune development, inflammation, and immune–microbiome interactions.

With strong conservation of key immune pathways between zebrafish and mammals, this model provides valuable insights into immune regulation and offers significant potential for translational research relevant to human biology.

Join us on Thursday 21 May and Friday 22 May 2026 at University College Dublin (UCD) for two days of forward-thinking learning and collaboration. Centred around this year’s theme, “The Evolution of Anaesthesia and Critical Care,” the programme promises to bring together an outstanding lineup of national and international speakers who will explore emerging trends, innovative practices, and the future of the specialty.

Whether you’re aiming to broaden your knowledge, connect with colleagues, or discover fresh ideas, Annual Congress 2026 offers the ideal environment. We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring and impactful two days at UCD.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) 2026 Annual Session will take place from May 21–24, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada. This premier gathering draws thousands of pediatric dental professionals from across the nation for a one-of-a-kind combination of world-class continuing education, hands-on learning, and community building.

Attendees will gain access to expert-led CE sessions, clinical updates, and the latest innovations showcased in the Exhibit Hall. Beyond the educational opportunities, the event offers unmatched networking with colleagues, mentors, and friends, along with lively social events that make the AAPD community so unique. With registration details and program highlights to be announced later this year, participants are encouraged to subscribe to AAPD 2026 updates to stay informed about the latest announcements.

The purpose of the 20th Innate Immunity is to bring together scientists from all over the world to discuss their latest findings on the various aspects of Innate Immunity. The specific topics include: Evolution of the innate immune system, Host-microbe interactions, Interactions with adaptive immunity, Neuroimmunology, immunometabolism, trained immunity, Pathophysiology-Inflammation, Structural biology, and Therapeutic applications. Abstracts are invited from the international community for all these topics. The scientific sessions will convene in the mornings and early afternoons and will include lectures by invited speakers, as well as talks and poster presentations selected from submitted abstracts. The conference has limited participation and a scientific and social program that will maximize scientific interchange. In order to encourage the participation of young scientists, the Aegean Conferences is offering Trainee Travel Awards to offset a portion of the travel expenses to the Conference. The Conference Organizing Committee will select the Award recipients based on the scientific merit of abstracts submitted by applicants.

We are excited to announce the 2026 Trainee Weekend, taking place from 22 to 24 May 2026 at Rydges World Square, Sydney.

Developed by yANZSN and the ANZSN Education and Training Committee, the weekend will feature a mix of case-based discussions, skills-based masterclasses, and lectures designed to help trainees confidently apply knowledge in clinical practice.

Program highlights include:

Masterclasses in Obstetric Nephrology, Kidney Genetics, Communications Skills or Research Skills Small group workshops covering Kidney Replacement Therapy decision making, Challenging Nephrology consults, Renal Physiology in Practice, and Glomerulonephritis Cases yANZSN Nephrology Trivia on Friday Night Saturday cocktail-style networking function.
