Leprosy Mailing List – July 4, 2025
Ref.: (LML) LRI at ILC 2025, Annual Report 2024 & Featured research
From: Leprosy Research Initiative, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear colleagues,
LRI goes to ILC 2025
The International Leprosy Congress (ILC) is a major global event held every three years, bringing together researchers and key stakeholders in the field of leprosy. Next week, from July 7 to 9, the 22nd ILC will take place in Bali, Indonesia, uniting participants from around the world to share knowledge, connect, and collaborate toward a world free from leprosy. This year's theme, "Towards a World with Zero Leprosy", reflects our shared commitment to elimination.
The ILC is a key global forum for advancing research, treatment, and understanding of leprosy (Hansen's disease). It offers a valuable space for researchers, health professionals, policymakers, and persons affected to engage with the latest developments in the field.
The LRI Secretariat will be present at the LRI booth, and we warmly invite all researchers, committee members, partners, and anyone interested to stop by and learn more about our work. Visit us to exchange ideas and hear more about LRI's research, upcoming funding opportunities, capacity-strengthening initiatives, and other exciting developments.
LRI-supported research will also be strongly represented in the scientific programme - with nearly 30 oral and poster presentations showcasing the progress and impact of our funded projects. Find more information on all presentations at the LRI booth.
We look forward to meeting many of you in person at the Congress!
LRI-funded projects featured in TLM's Research Magazine
One of LRI's partner organisations, The Leprosy Mission International (TLMI), publishes its online Research Magazine twice a year, reaching readers across the leprosy and NTD sectors. The magazine offers in-depth insights into TLM's research projects, their progress, and the potential impact of their findings.
The July 2025 issue features two LRI-funded projects -"PEP4LEP" and "Audio and written interventions to improve the perception of leprosy"- offering a great opportunity to share their work with a broader audience.

We are pleased to see LRI-supported research gaining visibility and recognition. A big thank you to Tim Burton, TLMI's Global Communications Lead, for coordinating this effort.
Both projects will also be represented at the International Leprosy Congress in Bali, Indonesia through oral and poster presentations. We look forward to hearing more about their findings and impact during the event.
