SATELLITE SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN

Specifically, all applications will be reviewed to ensure that the proposed satellite does not compete or conflict with the official HIVR4P 2020 scientific programme, reflects and supports the vision and objectives of the conference, and is consistent with the conference policies and goals of diversity and inclusion.

Although all satellite sessions will take place in the conference centre, these sessions are fully organized and coordinated by the organization hosting the satellite.
