Background information<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Over the past two decades, the EDCTP Forum has evolved to become one of the most prominent cross disease and inter-disciplinary conferences focusing on clinical research and research capacity strengthening in sub-Saharan Africa. The Twelfth EDCTP Forum expects to welcome over 1,000 participants in person in Kigali.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event brings together scientists, policy makers, funders, and global health partners in the field of clinical research and development for poverty-related diseases, with emphasis on African and European participation. It provides a valuable opportunity to share latest research findings and to form new collaborative links with international colleagues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
