Virtual 2020 MSILDG Summer Research Meeting

Virtual 2020 MSILDG Summer Research Meeting

MSILDG research meetings are historically informal, interesting, informative and inspiring.

Due to the global pandemic, we are holding a virtual discussion meeting this summer. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 22nd July 2020 using the Gotowebinar platform.  
Contributions will be recorded where indicated and made available to registered delegates.

Delegates can register free of charge using the following link: 

The book of abstracts can be found here:

We look forward to connecting with our community online!
