Programme
With our regional symposia we will bring the best elements of ISCoS research and education to parts of the world where SCI services and human resources have been identified as areas that require strengthening and support.
The programme is a two-day scientific programme that will consist of various themed sessions and workshops. The speakers will be a combination of international speakers and regional experts.
There will be interactive workshops and also an opportunity to network with peers.
