Sixth EDCTP Forum: Proceedings and video available online

27 February 2012

EDCTP published today the Proceedings of the Sixth EDCTP Forum as well as a short video on the event. The biennial Forum brings together EDCTP stakeholders to share progress made in the EDCTP programme. The Sixth Forum showed the growth and development of the programme since its launch in 2003, presented the scientific results of projects and illustrated the success of EDCTP’s approach to capacity building and networking.

Forum Proceedings
The proceedings of the Sixth EDCTP Forum summarise the research presentations in the sessions on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, as well on the cross-cutting areas of health research capacity development, networking, ethics and regulatory affairs. More than 60% of the presented projects were funded by EDCTP. Moreover, the report highlights activities of EDCTP’s collaborating partners and their commitment to further health research as well as the winners of the EDCTP Awards for Outstanding Junior and Senior African Scientist.

A printed version of the report will be send to all participants of the Forum. A limited number will be available on request. The printed report includes a CD-ROM containing all abstracts, all presentations, a list of participants and the Forum video.
