About Scientific Days
First launched in London in 2004, MSF Scientific Days <Link to UK site> aim to connect audiences – across countries, organisations, disciplines – to enable critical analysis and debate on medical research and innovation around issues of access to healthcare.

Last year’s MSF Scientific Days in the UK, India and Zimbabwe attracted hundreds of attendees, with the UK event being watched live online in 115 countries.

You can view posters, slides and videos from previous MSF Scientific Days in the UK.

All abstracts presented at MSF Scientific Days are submitted according to strict guidelines (www.msf.org.uk/scientific-day-guidelines-abstracts) and selected by an editorial team drawn across MSF and partner organisations (London School of Tropical Hygiene & Medicine (LSHTM), Imperial College, London, The Lancet and PLOS.)
