On 17-18 November 2021, researchers from across the PROTECT COVID-19 National Core Study on transmission and environment will come together in person for the programme's first conference.

They will be joined at the Manchester International Conference Centre by policymakers and stakeholders to shape and engage with the latest science on how the COVID-19 virus transmits, and how to stop it.

For PROTECT researchers

PROTECT researchers are invited to attend the full two days of the conference in person.

Day one will provide an important chance to exchange knowledge and ideas with other researchers, explore opportunities for inter-disciplinary collaboration and develop innovative research responses to the ongoing challenge of understanding and controlling transmission of the COVID-19 virus as the UK unlocks.

On day two, researchers will benefit from the opportunity to present and engage directly with policymakers and stakeholders to further develop their understanding of the challenges of managing virus transmission in current real-world scenarios, ensuring their research remains relevant, useful and impactful.

The full conference programme is under development and will be uploaded here soon. See the event page on the PROTECT website for the current outline programme.
