Welcome to the webinar page of our H2020 RABYD-VAX project! Instead of organizing a symposium, we opted to organize a webinar to cover diverse topics in the rabies field. A webinar will allow us to reach more people worldwide, and hence in the same time save carbon foot print!
The program can be found here below. We are proud to present many eminent speakers in the rabies field, this webinar will be certainly one to watch!
Moreover, the talks will be available online until the end of 2020, giving people all around the world/within different time zones the ability to watch at their own convenience.
Accessible online from the 14th of January 2020, 10 CET. A question poll system is implemented whereby viewers can type their question(s) to the speaker. By a voting system other viewers will be able to vote the most pertinent questions upwards and these will be addressed by the speaker. This Q poll will be open for one month. Afterwards these questions and answers will become available on this webpage. It’s free!
