Established in 2000, IVI’s International Vaccinology Course is one of the longest-running vaccinology courses in the Asia-Pacific region.
In order to celebrate IVI’s EU office opening in Stockholm, this year’s vaccinology course will be organized in a hybrid format having the participants hosted in Karolinska Institute (15-20 participants in Stockholm) and IVI HQ (115 participants in Seoul), the presentations will be lively broadcasted from both venues (i.e., Stockholm and Seoul).
This year’s five-day course highlights Breakthroughs in Vaccine Science and Technology, paying tribute to the remarkable strides in vaccine innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic and how they’ve changed the landscape and future of vaccine development.
The course is a combination of lectures, and interactive case studies, presented and facilitated by experts from academia, industry, government, and non-governmental organizations.
From “refresher” lectures to applied topics in vaccine discovery, development, and delivery, the course provides a comprehensive overview of vaccinology with a focus on practicality

The NDPIA Microbiota and Health course for PhD-students or postdocs will be held at Aspenäs Herrgård just outside Gothenburg, Sweden on November 14-18, 2022.
The course presents an overview of human microbiomes in health and disease and discusses methods for microbiome studies and data analysis. In particular, the course lectures discuss the microbiota associated with the human gut, genitourinary tract, mouth and skin as well how these microbial interactions shape the human body.
Registration for the Visualize your Science autumn course 2022 is now open to NDPIA members.
Only 5 spots available!
All NDPIA members who have taken the course improved their design skills and highly recommend it!
The NDPIA mosquito-borne pathogens and their vectors course was held during 7-10 of June 2022 at Umeå University. The course was conducted in a hybrid format, allowing some of the lecturers and students to participate online.
This course aimed at providing an in-depth understanding of pathogen-vector interaction and transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne pathogens, providing better understanding of mosquitoes as vectors of arboviruses and parasites most of which are zoonotic in nature and affect both humans and animals. We had twelve national and international experts covering various aspects of the mosquito vector including ecology, biology, population genetics, competence, capacity and how these factors influence transmission to the susceptible host. The course also covered vector surveillance, identification, diagnostics, prevention and control, as well as application of high-throughput sequencing platforms in virus discovery.
“I got the opportunity to learn a lot about the mosquito vector in both theory and the practical aspect by experienced researchers.”-Anonymous participant
In addition to the lectures, this course included a field trip with mosquito trapping, a Swedish mosquito identification workshop, and a computational workshop on informatic workflow after barcoding and comparison of mosquito sequence data. Course participants were also given the opportunity to give a short presentation of themselves and their research activities, to further promote discussions and networking.
“The strength of this course was the high-quality presentations, well organized and efficient field work, communication and the flexibility for networking.”-Anonymous participant
