.: Indo-Swiss Symposium on Infectious Diseases

India and Switzerland share many common interests in the fields of science and medicine and both countries have exceptional expertise in the areas of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, human diseases of global importance.

It is thus fitting and timely to bring together experts from India and Switzerland so they can share their ideas and knowledge in the framework of a high level scientific forum. The Global Health Institute at EPFL is happy to host an Indo-Swiss Symposium on Infectious Diseases and is confident that this will serve as the basis for many future exchanges and collaborations between these two leading scientific communities.
