WINGS Symposium 2024

The WIN Global Scholars (WINGS) programme aims to build links between WIN and MRI researchers in the Global South. WIN Global Scholars will continue their research projects at their current institution, while being remotely affiliated with WIN for one year.

We are delighted to hold the WINGS Symposium 2024, where past and present scholars, and their supervisors, present their work and celebrate the programme.
