For the second year in a row, LRI hosted an online 'Highlights of LRI Spring Meeting' event. During the seminar, held on May 30th,we showcased six selected project progress presentations from our in-person meeting. The diverse presentations spanned diverse LRI research priorities and grants, several continents, and gender of researchers. In addition to project progress, we also had a special session on the impact of research projects funded by LRI, along with a session on capacity strengthening using blended e-learning. The event was open to everyone with an interest in leprosy research and participation was free-of-charge.
This virtual gathering aimed to provide an opportunity for global participation.
