Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description This Brazil Partnering Award was used for developing research collaboration that led to the winning a BBSRC grant (BB/M008681/1) application under BBSRC FAPESP call. The links established through this award have also led to the grant from British Council (172710323). Partners from Brazil were funded to participate in the First Global Alliance for Research on Avian Diseases (GARAD) meeting in London in July 2015 attended by over 120 participants from around the world.
Exploitation Route We will be organizing an international Symposium in 2017 to further consolidate the research output and networking activities. Efforts will be made to ensure the participation of early career researchers both from UK and from Brazil

Results and Impact The AIRG 2018 programme will include both fundamental science and practical application of avian immunology. We welcome presentation of work relating to key commercial poultry species as well as work presented in the context of the comparative biology or evolution of immune responses in a broader context including those relating to wild birds. We are delighted to invite all stakeholders, including senior scientists and young researchers from academia, industry and government organisations, to join us in Oxford in the autumn of 2018. More than 150 participants representing 15 countries participated.
