LRI Spring Meeting 2023 & Highlights – Save the date!

The LRI Spring Meeting is an annual event that brings together researchers of LRI-funded projects,  the LRI Scientific Review Committee and Steering Committee as well as Partners of the LRI. More than thirty researchers will present project progress updates and results during this year's edition, which will take place in the Netherlands on the 20th and 21st of April. Limited places are available for self-funded persons with a keen interest in leprosy research who wish to attend but are not otherwise invited.

Following the in-person event, an online 'Highlights of Spring Meeting 2023' event will be hosted on the 1st of June , where findings of selected projects across LRI research priorities will be presented. This event is open to everyone interested in leprosy research and will be free of charge.

Updates on these events will follow via newsletter communication on our website in due course.

 

Best regards,

LRI team

 

New publication: "Meaningful engagement of persons affected by leprosy in research: an exploration of its interpretation, barriers, and opportunities"

We are pleased to share the scientific article led by LRI intern Laura de Groot recently published in Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease on her project on meaningful engagement of persons affected by leprosy in research.

The authors recommend to "engage experts-by-experience throughout the entire research cycle for optimal outcomes and impact for all stakeholders involved, although the process of engagement can vary across research stages. Funders can play an important role in both stimulating engagement, for example, by accepting that payment of experts-by-experience is a legitimate use of funds, and in recognizing differences between meaningful and tokenistic engagement."
