This session will discuss the core objectives, strategies, and impact of this initiative, shedding light on its significance to allow underrepresented communities to benefit from PID infrastructure. We will discuss progress to date and challenges across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and will have speakers dial in from the regions to share their work. In this interactive session, we aim to inspire engagement and collaboration among PID stakeholders towards the shared goal of advancing equity and access in the research landscape.
