RSTMH Research in Progress London is taking place on Thursday 5 December 2024. 

Research in Progress London is designed specifically for early career investigators to present their unpublished research in progress to peers and senior experts in all fields of tropical medicine and global health. Lunch and refreshments will be provided, along with opportunities to network. Certificates of attendance will be provided.

We will be hearing from our Keynote Speaker, Dr Sarah Rafferty, Office of National Statistics (ONS), who will be giving a talk titled “The Pandemic Preparedness Toolkit: building capacity in National Statistical Offices for infectious disease surveillance”. Dr Sarah Rafferty’s talk will explore how the Pandemic Preparedness Toolkit (PPT) project, funded by Wellcome, is aiming to demonstrate where National Statistical Offices can add value to infectious disease surveillance systems, and provide an online Toolkit to enable them to unlock their potential. Alongside the ONS, academic, government and charity sector partners in Argentina, Malawi and Nepal are collaborating to co-create the toolkit.

We will also be running guidance sessions on:

  • How to get funding, delivered by Greta Holmes, Grants Manager, Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
  • How to get published, delivered by Thomas Pinfield, Managing Editor, Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and International Health
  • How to communicate your research, delivered by Alice Sharman, Communications Manager, Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
