Leprosy Mailing List – April 5, 2022
Ref.: (LML) ILC 2022 - an update
From: P. Narasimha Rao, Hyderabad, India
Dear Pieter,
I am happy to share with you a few updates of ILC 2022.
As you are aware the theme of 21st International Leprosy Congress (ILC) is Better Knowledge, Early Diagnosis and Improved Care.
While the Congress is being organized by IAL and IADVL with the support of Central Leprosy Division (CLD) NLEP, MoH&FW, Govt of India; under the auspices of International Leprosy Association (ILA), I am happy to share the good news that ILEP, LEPRA, Sasakwa leprosy initiative and TLMI have agreed to be the official partners of this congress. I am sure a number of other stakeholders too would join in as we have already written to / in communication with them. People affected by leprosy are also going to be an important part of this congress.
The abstract submission portal at the website is active now. For this conference we are planning to have two additional categories of presentation, apart from Oral free paper and poster presentation which are: Award paper sessions for student trainees and a Short video presentation. (Please visit the ILC website https://www.ilc-india2022.com for details). Abstracts are invited for both these categories too.
We got a good number of volunteers for Abstract mentor program, thanks to LML for announcing it. The response to AMP has been good so far and it is likely to pick up further in the coming weeks.
We have made a few changes in the way the presentation mode can be chosen for abstract submission. A new category of 'Either' has been added as the third option, in addition to the 'physical presentation' and 'web-based virtual presentation' choices. Of course, the presenter has to decide about the mode, within a couple weeks of the abstract being accepted.
I am happy to announce that we are planning to develop an 'ILC 2022 mobile app exclusively for this congress. Hopefully it will be ready by the last week of June and would make navigation of the ILC website and congress programme details easier.
As the ILC 2022 is in hybrid mode, there will be more than 60-70 hours of web-based sessions which can be viewed by all those who register as web/ E delegates. In addition they will have access to the live transmission of most of the physical events, including plenary sessions. An exclusive 'award paper session' is being planned for e-delegates to encourage participation of student trainees and young scholars online.
As of now IADVL and IAL association have announced a limited number of registration scholarships/ cash scholarships to its members for attending the congress. Some of these scholarships will be open for any delegate to apply. We hope to see more such scholarships announcements in the next few months.
Registrations for the congress are trickling in and we hope to see many more in the next few months. We look forward to the continued support, registration and participation of LML members in this congress.
Best regards,
P. Narasimha Rao, MD, D.D, PhD
