Location
2nd International Symposium on Neglected Influenza Viruses, 7th - 8th March 2013
CONFERENCE VENUE
The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, 6, Kildare Street, Dublin 2
The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland is located in Dublin’s City Centre at Number Six, Kildare Street, Dublin 2. ISIRV are proud to locate the 2nd International Symposium on Neglected Influenza Viruses in this historic location.
Built in 1864, this wonderful listed building has been sympathetically restored and modernised to seamlessly blend a wealth of historical detail with state-of-the-art facilities and services for conferences.
The symposium venue is close to Dublin’s main business and shopping district and a short walk from the citys top visitor attractions, Trinity College, Government Buildings, National Museums and Art Galleries. Temple Bar, an area with an 'alternative' identity where you will find the best night spots, bars, art centres and unusual shops, is only a stroll away. The venue for the symposium is also very convenient for access to many city centre hotels. For details of recommended hotels visit the hotel accommodation section.
