Please support the development of this toolkit and click here to find out more about how you can share clinical images. Together we #beatNTDs!

LRI Spring Meeting 2023
The Eighth Annual Leprosy Research Initiative (LRI) Spring Meeting was held on 20-21 April, 2023, in Breukelen, the Netherlands. The event was held in-person again after three years and was attended by over 80 participants from 20 countries, including LRI-funded researchers, LRI committee members, partners of LRI, and other attendees with a particular interest in leprosy research. The Spring Meeting aimed to facilitate presenting and discussing of progress and results from ongoing LRI-funded research projects and offer a platform for shared learning and networking. The two-day event was packed with scientific presentations from projects across all five LRI research priorities, interactive thematic sessions on transmission, capacity strengthening and mental wellbeing, and plenty of opportunities for interactions. The occasion was particularly celebratory as 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of LRI.
On the 1st of June LRI is organising an online "Highlights of LRI Spring Meeting" event, which will feature selected project progress presentations from the in-person meeting and a special LRI 10-year anniversary session. The event is free-of-charge and open to anyone interested in leprosy research. To join, simply fill out the registration form and you will receive the meeting link closer to the date. Further event details and programme will become available on the LRI website soon.
