Annual meetings

From November 27 to 29, 2024, over 100 delegates representing researchers, physicians, specialists in laboratory diagnostics, academics, and scientists from both the public and private sectors in 22 countries gathered at Les Pensières Center for Global Health for the 13th international meeting of the GABRIEL network. This document highlights key aspects of the symposium, summarizing speeches and core discussion points.

The GABRIEL international meetings have become a platform for members to exchange experiences, explore new opportunities for collaboration, assess advancements in quality evaluation, and delve into the latest scientific developments in infectious diseases. This year's program specifically addressed the epidemiology and surveillanceof factors contributing to the emergence of infectious diseases. In addition, sessions were devoted to the global burden of tuberculosis, antimicrobial resistance, acute respiratory infections, and meningitis. This program offered researchers a valuable opportunity to identify diagnostic challenges and gaps, while fostering knowledge exchange to enhance surveillance strategies and improve clinical management.

As in previous years, the program featured the “GABRIEL Young Scientist Award” that supports promising young researchers from low- and lower-middle-income countries. This initiative enables them to present their work at international scientific symposia, thus helping them enhance their career development. Two winners were selected for this year's best presentations.
