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. We are delighted to share that nearly 100 participants joined from all around the world, highly valuing the opportunity to learn about a range of leprosy research and LRI’s projects, as indicated by their survey feedback. The recording of the event is now available online, if you would like to (re-) watch this event.
