VALIDATE Collaboration Reporter

Facilitating collaborations is at the heart of VALIDATE. By bringing together researchers across continents, institutions, pathogen focuses and disciplines, we aim to create connections that lead to new ideas, projects and opportunities.

If you have formed or developed a collaboration through a VALIDATE event, activity, funding scheme or introduction, please tell us about it using this form. We are interested in collaborations at every stage, from initial discussions to joint projects, grant applications, publications and other outcomes.

Your responses help us understand the impact of the network, demonstrate this impact to our funders, and identify ways VALIDATE may be able to support your collaboration further.
