Development of a next-generation dual-target rabies/flavivirus infectious vaccine

Webinar

Welcome to the webinar page of our H2020 RABYD-VAX project! Instead of organizing a symposium, we opted to organize a webinar to cover diverse topics in the rabies field. A webinar will allow us to reach more people worldwide, and hence in the same time save carbon foot print!

A tentative program can be found here below. We are proud to present many eminent speakers in the rabies field, this webinar will be certainly one to watch!

Moreover, the talks will be broadcasted for a longer period of time, giving people all around the world/within different time zones the ability to watch at their own convenience.

Accessible online as off the 14^th of January 2020, 10 CET. A question poll system will be implemented whereby viewers can type their question(s) to the speaker. By a voting system other viewers will be able to vote the most pertinent questions upwards and these will be addressed by the speaker. This poll will be open for one month. Afterwards a Q&A section will become available on this webpage. Register here!

About Simons Foundation Presents A free event series, Simons Foundation Presents aims to engage a diverse public audience in a wide range of accessible, meaningful and fun science and mathematics programming. Hello, We would like to inform you about an upcoming open online course, produced by the University of Basel and Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute. One Health: Connecting Humans, Animals and the Environment  As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds this course could not be more timely. If you wonder whether physicians and veterinarians could work together more closely, join this course. We’ll show you that collaboration makes a lot of sense, saving more human and animal lives than either field could alone, and even saving money. You’ll learn theoretical foundations and hands-on practical methods for planning and implementing integrated approaches to health care. Course starts April 13, 2020, and runs for 6 weeks.          Globally, more than 8000 learners have participated since 2016. From Libya (2019): “Thanks for you and thanks for all the team worked with you. I appreciated the golden opportunity you offered. This course is so valuable. It is the best courses I had and I will recommend to anyone. All the best.”  ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Lisa M.
