This 2.5 day symposium provided a forum for scientists from chemistry, immunology and glycobiology to discuss recent advances in our understanding and the opportunities for shaping glycan mediated immune responses.
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
