Call For Speakers
The scientific committee is looking for speakers who can provide their unique perspectives and experiences that fall under the theme of the event,“Research in Hybrid Crisis: Confronting Health Needs in Conflict and Natural Disasters.”
We will explore through expert speakers how research in armed conflict, particularly operational research can support the development of an evidence base which can strengthen humanitarian responses in settings of armed conflict. We plan to focus on research projects which SAMS has established with international partners – both academic and humanitarian – on topics which are pertinent to Syria as well as hearing from expert speakers who have worked on other conflicts. Our focus is on how such academic projects support changes to humanitarian practice and advocacy. More details are to follow.
However, we are putting a call out for abstracts from our committees and wider SAMS community for suggested presentations in line with the theme of the conference. We are particularly interested in operational research, academic-humanitarian projects and innovations. Such themes may fall under medical education, attacks on healthcare, innovations in clinical practice in conflict, the impacts of the earthquakes among others.
If you would like to discuss your submission further, please submit your proposal to [email protected] by Monday, March 20th.
Submitted proposals should include your contact information, biography, lecture topic, and a short paragraph summarizing your lecture objectives.
We Look Forward To Seeing You There
