About this Event
Our annual showcase returns to the Royal Veterinary College this December. It is a chance to celebrate our evolution into a global centre of excellence for neglected tropical disease (NTD) research, and to hear from global health experts, researchers and partners shaping what comes next.
What to expect
- Welcome and opening remarks from Professor Joanne Webster FMedSci FRS, Director of GCNTDR
- A parliamentary keynote and recorded messages from leading voices in global health
- Short talks from researchers at every career stage, showcasing research and capacity building opportunities through the centre
- An introduction to GCNTDR membership and how institutions and individuals can get involved
- Drinks and canapés
Why it matters
Under its new remit, GCNTDR will work directly with research institutions in the countries most affected by NTDs. The Centre will prioritise One Health approaches and tackle pressing questions such as drug resistance. Its governance has also evolved: it is now guided by a globally representative Executive Board. Its strategy supports the WHO NTD Road Map 2021–2030.
Who should attend
Implementers, funders, policymakers and parliamentarians, media, and researchers (including early-career researchers).
This is an in-person event only, and it will not be livestreamed. Places are limited, so please register early.
