MSF Scientific Day, 25 May 2012, London

Please find below an invitation for members of the Humanitarian Practice Network to attend the annual MSF Scientific Day.

This year the MSF Scientific Day will be held on Friday May 25th, 2012 at the Royal Society of Medicine, London, UK.

The Scientific Day is an international forum showcasing the work and research of MSF and some of our partners around the world. All research types will be considered, including surveys, descriptive programme evaluations, drug trials, and literature reviews. We particularly encourage submissions that highlight MSF’s humanitarian work and medical care in emergencies. We are keen that presentations highlight that lessons learned from operational research undertaken in these environments can have a direct impact on the quality of assistance provided by medical humanitarian agencies, in addition to influencing research agendas and policies.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is March 5th 2012. Details of the editorial process and the guidelines for the format of abstracts can be found at: http://www.msf.org.uk/custompage.aspx?id=scientific_day_abstract_guidelines.aspx

Registration is now open. Please follow the link to register and to see videos from last year: http://www.msf.org.uk/Scientific_Day.aspx
