30th seminar on technical and scientific cooperation between France and Brazil

On November 4 and 5, 2024, Brasilia will host the new edition of the France-Brazil technical and scientific cooperation seminar, which takes place every year in Brazil. The event will bring together French and Brazilian researchers, clinicians and institutional representatives to present research advances and define future priorities.

This scientific event is organized by the Department of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Sexually Transmitted Infections and Viral Hepatitis (DATHI) of the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the French Embassy in Brazil, in conjunction with ANRS MIE through its partner site in Brazil.

Some of the studies supported by ANRS MIE will be presented on this occasion:
