Society Collaborations

The Infection Science Forum is a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to research and development in the field of infectious diseases. Its mission is to advance knowledge and progress through scientific studies, collaborative projects, and the promotion of innovation that strengthens both clinical practice and public health. By fostering cooperation between researchers, clinicians, and experts, Infection Science Forum contributes to closing knowledge gaps and translating science into tangible health outcomes.

Alongside its research activity, the Infection Science Forum is a publisher of medical journals, providing a reliable outlet for the dissemination of research findings, expert opinions, and evidence-based practices. The organization is also active in medical education, offering courses, workshops, and training activities, while supporting knowledge exchange within the professional community. In addition, it provides consulting services in project management, assisting research initiatives and institutional collaborations from concept development through implementation and evaluation. Through these combined efforts, the Infection Science Forum strengthens scientific impact, supports professional development, and contributes to improved global health outcomes.

The Association for Increasing the Visibility of Scientific Research (ACVCS) is dedicated to supporting the dissemination and accessibility of scientific knowledge across disciplines, with a particular focus on medicine and health sciences. As a publisher of academic journals, ACVCS provides a platform for high-quality research to reach a wide international audience, ensuring that scientific findings are visible, accessible, and impactful. Its mission is to strengthen the role of science in improving health, policy, and practice by connecting researchers, clinicians, and educators.

Beyond publishing, ACVCS is actively engaged in promoting medical education and professional development. It organizes courses, workshops, and training programs that help researchers and healthcare professionals develop new skills, share expertise, and expand their networks. Staying true to its core mission, the association also develops initiatives to enhance the visibility of scientific work—through collaborations, outreach, and tailored strategies that amplify the reach and influence of research outputs. In doing so, ACVCS contributes to advancing science, fostering education, and building stronger connections between research and society.

The National Institute for Infectious Diseases “Prof. Dr. Matei Balș” has a history of more than a century, having evolved under the expert coordination of Prof. Dr. Adrian Streinu-Cercel into what is now Romania’s leading medical institution dedicated to the care, research, and prevention of infectious diseases. Over the decades, the institute has continuously expanded its infrastructure and expertise, becoming a reference hospital for both adult and pediatric infectious pathology, as well as for complex cases requiring intensive care and specialized services.

Beyond its clinical role, the institute has been at the forefront of innovation in Romania’s public health and medical system. It pioneered the introduction of international standards in hospital management and patient safety, as well as modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in infectious diseases. The institute also conducts clinical research, contributing to the development and evaluation of new diagnostic methods, therapies, and preventive strategies. As a teaching and research hub, it plays a key role in the education of medical students, residents and professionals, fostering the next generation of specialists while supporting scientific progress in infectious diseases.
