Gearing up for ICOS Science Conference 2026
It’s less than a week to go until ICOS Science Conference 2026 and our conference organising team is busy behind the scenes making sure you have an unforgettable conference in Lund, Sweden, and online.
What can in-person and online attendees expect from the conference week?
Largest ever scientific programme accessible on-site and online
With over 160 oral and 330 poster presentations scheduled in our programme, ICOS Science Conference 2026 is shaping up to be the largest programme yet.
Plenary and oral presentations can be followed on-site and will be livestreamed on the conference platform for all registered participants. All questions will be delivered using the online chat function, ensuring parity between in-person and remote attendees.
Poster presentations will be given in dedicated poster sessions on-site. The posters will also be viewable within the conference platform in a dedicated virtual poster gallery, through which attendees can ask questions. There will also be ePoster facilities onsite, meaning on-site participants can view virtual posters.
To help navigate this extensive scientific programme, the interactive conference programme on our website allows you to search by author or submission ID.
In advance of the conference week, already-registered attendees can access the conference platform provided by Eventos and favourite individual presentations, allowing you to build your own programme.
If you prefer a full list of abstracts, this is also published on our website.
