The EDCTP Forum is a biennial event that provides an international platform for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research addressing the burden of poverty-related infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa and the capacity development and networking activities that support this goal.

International cooperation in science and technology is an important part of addressing major global issues like climate change, infectious disease, food security, and natural disasters. Research Infrastructures are organizations providing state-of-the-art resources, services and expertise to scientists. The RI-VIS project unites research infrastructures across scientific domains to work together more efficiently and effectively and increase their visibility in society. 

The Africa-Europe Science Collaboration Astronomy Platform (AERAP) is a stakeholder forum convened to define priorities for science and innovation cooperation between Africa and Europe. It provides a framework for stakeholders from industry and academia to define research action plans across the wide range of technological areas that will be essential for addressing common challenges and future. 

The RI-VIS Latin America - Europe Symposium will be held between Tuesday, June 15th and Thursday, June 17th 2021, as a virtual event. This event is organised in collaboration with the EU-LAC ResInfra project.
 

The RI-VIS Africa-Europe Symposium will be held on Monday, February 1st and Tuesday, February 2nd, 2021, as a virtual event.

The objectives of the Third CRIGH General Assembly, held virtually due to the current COVID-19 crisis constraints, are to: 

• Provide the opportunity to discuss the progress of the various activities and consolidate the role of CRIGH as a key partner for the co-development of independent clinical trials. 

• Draft recommendations for global health actors and stakeholders to support independent, timely and equitable clinical trial implementation and access.  

The CRIGH project on clinical data management will be presented at the DIA Japan Annual Meeting 2019, which will be held from 10 to 12 November in Tokyo.

Since it was launched in 2009, the World Health Summit has brought together stakeholders and decision-makers from every field in the healthcare spectrum, providing a forum for exchange with experts from academia, industry, politics and civil society.
