2022年第12届国际肺炎链球菌和肺炎球菌性疾病研讨会(ISPPD)

2022年第12届国际肺炎链球菌和肺炎球菌性疾病研讨会(ISPPD)将于2022年6月19日至23日在加拿大多伦多举行。国际肺炎链球菌和肺炎球菌性疾病研讨会（ISPPD）是首屈一指的致力于交流、推广和传播有关基础科学、微生物学、流行病学以及肺炎链球菌和肺炎球菌性疾病治疗与预防的最新发现的全球性科学研讨会。ISPPD提供了一个无与伦比的国际论坛，使科学界、临床和公共卫生专家，从业人员和学生汇聚一堂，以展示、讨论、挑战和学习肺炎球菌性疾病的最新工作成果和进展。

肺炎链球菌和肺炎球菌性疾病国际研讨会(ISPPD)是一个非营利、非政府组织，总部设在瑞士日内瓦。ISPPD于2012年3月11日在巴西福兹德伊瓜苏举行的ISPPD-8研讨会上正式启动。ISPPD的任务是提高对肺炎球菌生物学、发病机制和流行病学的认识和理解，宿主对肺炎球菌携带和感染的反应；以及肺炎球菌病的预防和治疗。目前，ISPPD协会的主要活动宣是每两年一届的ISPPD国际研讨会，宗旨是汇集对肺炎球菌和肺炎球菌性疾病感兴趣的专业人士，以提高全球意识，并提高诊断、预防和治疗的标准。

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Board and the Scientific Organising Committee, we warmly welcome you to the 12th International Symposium on Pneumococci and Pneumococcal Diseases (ISPPD-12) in Toronto, Canada from 19-23 June 2022. As many of you are aware, ISPPD is the premier meeting for pneumococcal researchers globally. The meeting brings together researchers with a diverse range of interests and expertise.

The Toronto meeting is the 12th ISPPD and represents the second time that the meeting is being held in North America. The first ISPPD was in Denmark in 1998. Over the past two decades, there have been transformational changes in the control of pneumococcal disease worldwide. This era has been defined by the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines worldwide, with a keen focus on assessing the new vaccines’ impact and serotype evolution. However, severe outcomes from pneumococcal diseases remain a concern for healthy as well as compromised hosts around the world. What transformational changes will define the next era of pneumococcal disease prevention? This new era will be characterized by new generation vaccines and strategies for their use, improved understanding of genomics, next-generation sequencing, new diagnostics, and the role of the microbiome, and better knowledge of host-pathogen interaction. These and other topics will be addressed at ISPPD-12 in Toronto.

As was done at ISPPD-11, we plan to have an informative and exciting programme that highlights the areas of substantial recent progress while also posing the tough questions where progress has been more challenging.  Wherever possible, plenary sessions will take a cross-disciplinary approach to major areas in the field.  Parallel sessions will allow us to explore specific topics that cover areas that include but are not limited to clinical issues, host-immune interactions, genomics, immunology, microbiology, epidemiology and the interface between these areas. Meet-the-Expert sessions and workshops will provide opportunities for interaction with professionals in smaller-structured settings.  Researchers at all levels will have an opportunity to present their work in interactive poster sessions. Attention will be given to how to exchange knowledge and translate findings into a policy that benefit individuals affected by or at risk of pneumococcal diseases worldwide.

ISPPD-12’s programme will provide ample opportunities for networking professionally and socially. The social programme promises to be exciting and will allow you to experience the culture and warmth of Toronto. Toronto is an exciting, vibrant and multicultural city, with stunning Niagara Falls an easy day trip from the city centre.  We look forward to interacting with you and your families as you enjoy the symposium and hopefully spend a few extra days exploring the sights, theatres and cuisine of the 4th largest city in North America.

We are extremely delighted to welcome you to Toronto, Ontario and Canada!

Best wishes,

Upton Allen, Cynthia Whitney, Philippe De Wals
