Twelfth scientific biennial meeting of the Australasian Virology Society: AVS12 2024
The Australasian Virology Society (AVS) holds premier biennial virology meetings that foster multidisciplinary research and collaboration and promote equity and inclusion of early-career researchers. The 12th AVS meeting (AVS12), convened by M. Tate, J. Fraser, and G. Moseley, was held from 2 to 5 December 2024 on Dja Dja Wurrung country at the RACV Goldfields Resort in Creswick, Victoria, Australia. In this report, we give a brief overview of the history of AVS and outline the current and developing priorities for the society. We provide a summary of the insightful panel discussions held to address career development and Indigenous virology, highlight the presentations given by international plenary speakers Joe Grove and Chantal Abergel, and celebrate the recipients of the numerous awards.
