Keynote lectures from world leaders addressing major topics in glycoimmunology provided the framework for a large number of short talks and flash presentations together with a poster session showcasing recent achievements from major European research groups active in the field.

This symposium gave especially younger pre-doctoral and early postdoctoral investigators the opportunity to discuss their research with a large audience of specialists.

The following topics were covered in the program:

• Glycoconjugate vaccines
• Glycan based immunotherapy
• Host pathogen interactions
• Synthesis of glycan antigens
• Glycomimetics
