What is a Special Interest Session?
Special Interest Sessions are proposal-based sessions developed and organized by researchers and professionals across the HPV community, providing a platform to explore specific HPV-related topics in greater depth.
Each proposal should bring together a complete faculty, with the Nominator shaping the session concept and coordinating the Chairs and Speakers who will contribute to the discussion.
