Call for symposia

The 2nd WiM Conference also invites the submission of symposia proposals. These symposia aim to create a platform for in-depth discussions on new and emerging topics or innovative applications of established methods. Alternatively, a symposium centered on a topic relevant to the careers of women in malaria research may be proposed. Each symposium will last 1.5 hours and should feature either talks, a panel discussion, or a mixture of the two by women and non-binary researchers from diverse career stages and geographical backgrounds.
