About this event

Hostbusters: SPPIRITed to Roslin

After last years UWS SPPIRIT symposium, we are excited to announce SPPIRITs 2025 symposium!

This year, the symposium will be hosted at the Roslin Institute where we hope to give early-career parasitologists from across Scotland the chance to present their science and network with peers. We have organised an exciting day of poster presentations and selected talks, along with two invited keynote speakers.

Please note: This event is intended for researchers who are affiliated with a Scottish Institute. This event is in-person only and talks will not be recorded.

Abstract submission deadline - 30th September

Frequently asked questions

Will transport be arranged?

A bus from the University of Dundee will be arranged . Those travelling from elsewhere will need to organise their own transport.

How do I travel by public transport?

To travel by public transport, a train to Edinburgh Waverly station followed by a bus to Roslin is likely to be the quickest route. A list of travel options are available at the following link: https://vet.ed.ac.uk/roslin/about/contact-us/how-to-get-here
