STAPA International Network Congress (SINC)

The STAPA International Network Congress (SINC) is an international scientific congress dedicated to host-pathogen interactions. Organized by the Young Researcher Association of Institut Pasteur of Paris (STAPA) and in collaboration with the Pasteur Network, the first edition of the SINC will take place from the 28th to the 30th of October 2026, in France, at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.
This congress, by and for young researchers, aims to develop and strengthen an international network of young researchers across the Pasteur Network and other Institutions. Over three days, the program will feature keynote lectures from leading scientists within the Pasteur Network, oral and poster presentations by early-career researchers, and interactive sessions designed to support both professional and interpersonal development. A series of roundtables and workshops will further promote dialogue on scientific careers, international collaboration, diversity, equity and inclusion, while providing participants with practical tools to navigate their scientific careers.
