Dialogue Days Background:
These Dialogue Days are hosted by the University of Zürich, in close collaboration
with Makerere University and the Infectious Diseases Institute in Kampala, Uganda. Started in 2014, the event originated as a way to build future research collaborations between the two universities, as well as to encourage dialogue and interactions between participants. Since its inauguration, there have been subsequent events
in 2015 and 2017; each one building on the work from previous iterations. With this productive and partnership on equal terms, we have been able to draw increased attention both within our academic community and in the public at large, as reflected by an article in the «New York Times» earlier this year. This year we hope to
build upon this interest by opening the event to the public.

Meeting Venue:
Monday, September 9^th and Wednesday, September 11^th
The sessions on Monday the 9^th and Wednesday the 11^th are aimed at members
of the scientific community. This includes students, professors, post-docs, etc
from Universities in and around Zurich and the global community.
