ParaFrap organized the first ParaFrap Next Generation in Parasitology Workshop in 2024. This event aims to support the next generation of European parasitologists in developing their collaboration networks and raising awareness about funding opportunities. The inaugural edition took place from September 30 to October 3, 2024, in the Grenoble area and was coordinated by two early-career researchers within the ParaFrap network: Christopher Swale (IAB, Grenoble) and Jessica Bryant (Institut Pasteur, Paris), with support from Mohamed-Ali Hakimi and Artur Sherf. During this workshop, an open scientific session was held, where 12 junior principal investigators (10 selected by the organizing committee and the 2 main organizers) presented their work. The 12 young scientists later gathered for a retreat focused on the theme of new technologies. Registration for the scientific session was open to all interested participants.
The next edition will take place in 2026, organized by Karine Frénal (CNRS, Bordeaux), Maude Lévêque (University of Montpellier), and Isabelle Louradour (Institut Pasteur, Paris), with assistance from Maryse Lebrun (INSERM, Montpellier).
