Edctp-Aighd Launch Of A Global Tb Vaccine R&D Roadmap, 20 April 2021, 18:00-19:30 Cest

EDCTP and the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development (AIGHD) are pleased to invite you to a Special Session that we are jointly organising at the Virtual Global Forum on TB Vaccines to launch a Global TB Vaccine R&D Roadmap on 20 April 2021 at 18:00-19:30 CEST. Please find the agenda for this event enclosed for your information.

EDCTP has commissioned AIGHD to develop a Global TB Vaccine R&D Roadmap to identify priorities for coordinating global action to accelerate the development and implementation of new TB vaccines. It has been developed through an iterative global consultative process designed to identify the key barriers to TB vaccine R&D and implementation, and potential ways in which they might be overcome. It is intended to provide a shared set of priorities to guide the activities of all stakeholders with an interest in TB vaccine development and use.

More information can be found on the EDCTP website: https://www.edctp.org/event/edctp-aighd-special-session-at-the-virtual-global-forum-on-tb-vaccines/
