The Embassy of Switzerland and Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) are organising a conference on Innovative Partnership Models of Research for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). The event brings together experts and stakeholders from diverse fields to explore collaborative approaches that address the unique challenges posed by NTDs.
With the increasingly easy access to the Internet, more and more people are going online. However, this access is not without challenges and often people go online without realising or taking into consideration the security aspects of the access. This presents many opportunities, but also threats. The workshop will bring together experts from Switzerland and India to debate emerging issues in these areas and suggest ways to address them.
