Initiative for Vaccine Research (IVR)

Global Vaccine Research Forum

The conference began back in Morges, Switzerland in June 1996 and was known then as the Technical Review Meeting for Vaccine Research and Development. Since then it has grown in size and reputation and at the first meeting in the new millennium, it became known as the Global Vaccine Research Forum. The conference brings together every year a world-wide selection of top researchers and scientists and serves as a forum for the partners of GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization) to discuss vaccine research and development issues, and to update research agendas. Moreover, the meeting provides an opportunity for discussion of broader issues of vaccine policy and implementation.

The last Forum took place on 7-9 December 2009 (3 days) in Bamako, Mali, with three Satellite Workshops on 6 December.
