Conference Description
The Tropical Infectious Diseases GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The topic for the 2025 GRS on Tropical Infectious Diseases will be "Empowering Early Career Researchers to Address Global Tropical Disease Challenges", particularly those from regions affected by endemic diseases to benefit from close interactions with other attendees from different areas of study and esteemed senior mentors. Young investigators will have the opportunity to present their research endeavors through oral talks or poster sessions, providing a platform to garner feedback and forge collaborations.
The scientific program of 2025 GRS will also feature a vibrant and informative career panel session, offering a diverse array of career pathways for early investigators. Participants are strongly encouraged to extend their involvement by applying to and attending the subsequent Gordon Research Conference on Tropical Infectious Diseases that will take place right after in the same venue. The GRC will emphasize the significance of interdisciplinary approaches in advancing health technologies related to tropical infectious diseases, amplifying the impact of scientific innovation in this crucial field.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by December 3, 2024. Please check back for updates.
