VALIDATE Annual Meeting 2021
Since 2017, VALIDATE's Annual Meetings have provided members of our community with a chance to connect, network, build new collaborations and hear about some of the great research that our network has supported. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to meet in person so our 2021 Annual Meeting took place online, across three days: 15 September, 14 October, and 16 November 2021. We hope that by delivering an online meeting, even more members can take advantage of this opportunity to connect with fellow members and hear about the amazing work our community has undertaken over the past 4 years.
Agenda
Day One of the VALIDATE Annual Meeting 2021 took place on 15 September 2021, over 60 VALIDATE members and was chaired by Prof Mitali Chatterjee. Anyone you can watch the opening session above, which includes talks from Helen McShane, Dr Himangi Bhardawaj MBE from British High Commission in India, and an update on VALIDATE from Samantha Vermaak.
VALIDATE members can watch the rest of the Annual Meeting on the VALIDATE Hub.
