• Save the date! 15-20 June 2025: Twelfth EDCTP Forum

  Over the past two decades, the biennial EDCTP Forum has evolved to become one of the most prominent cross-disease and inter-disciplinary conferences focusing on clinical research and research capacity strengthening in sub-Saharan Africa, with global collaboration. In the spirit of a true partnership of equals, the Forum is held alternately in Africa and Europe. Building on the resounding success of the Eleventh EDCTP Forum held in France in 2023, at which EDCTP celebrated its 20th anniversary, the Twelfth EDCTP Forum will take place in Rwanda, the heart of Africa.
