Weekly round-up #232

5th Annual Meeting

Register today for the 5th VALIDATE Annual Meeting! The meeting will be held on 7-8 March 2023 at the historic BMA House in London, UK. As always, our Annual Meeting will give our members talks from world-leading scientists in our research field, updates from our funded projects on their cutting-edge research, and the chance to meet members from across the globe - and perhaps even find a new collaborator.

2023 will be the first in-person VALIDATE event since 2019, and we are really looking forward to seeing all our members in person! The Annual Meeting is open to all VALIDATE members, with members from academia, industry, government bodies, and non-governmental agencies all welcome.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting is free for all members, but spaces are limited so sign up asap - www.validate-network.org/ANNUAL-MEETING-2023
