The 2026 ACREME Annual Meeting will bring together researchers, collaborators and partners for two days of knowledge sharing, collaboration and capacity building, and will be delivered in conjunction with the Malaria Synergy Program (MSP). The program will feature updates on research progress, key initiatives and emerging priorities across ACREME, while providing opportunities to strengthen connections and foster new collaborations.

The second half of the two-day meeting will focus on the Malaria Synergy Program, incorporating interactive, hands-on workshops designed to encourage practical learning and engagement. Participants from both ACREME and MSP are warmly invited to attend and contribute across the full program.

Please note: This meeting is for ACREME and Malaria Synergy Programs staff, students and researchers only.
