International Symposia
Since several years, we organize annual international symposia on schistosomaisis. These meetings help to maintain our lively network of collaborative research, they place this in a larger context with additional invited participants and allow the planning of future research co-operations. Previous symposia were held in Heidelberg, Cairo (Egypt) and Wuhan (China). The symposia greatly benefited from support by DAAD through its programmes for “ University-partnerships with developing countries
