The theme for the conference will be “Parasitologists without Borders”, which captures both the interdisciplinary nature of our research, and the pressing need for our scientific community to play its part in addressing the global challenges that confront us. The local organising committee is drawn from all parts of the Island of Ireland, and we aim to present a scientific programme that brings together the leading minds to speak on topics relevant to scientific understanding, drug development, vaccines, diagnostics, and parasite control in veterinary medicine. The Conference will be held in Dublin’s Convention Centre, a purpose-built venue just a few minutes’ walk from Dublin’s vibrant city centre with its many museums, restaurants, pubs and cafes.
