As the largest gathering in the field of parasitology, ICOPA brings together leading scientists, researchers, and practitioners to share knowledge, foster collaborations, and address global challenges in parasitic diseases.
ICOPA 2026, taking place in Montréal, Canada, from August 16-21, will focus on the theme “Parasites in a Changing World.” This timely theme highlights the dynamic interplay between parasites and their environments, emphasizing the need for innovative research and solutions in the face of evolving global challenges. Supported by the WFP and its network of regional, national, and international parasitology societies, ICOPA 2026 promises a diverse and high-impact scientific program, offering an inclusive platform for knowledge exchange and inspiration to advance parasitology worldwide.
