This symposium organised by INOVEC 14 February 2023 and its partners aims to review the performances of new tools, technologies and strategies for the control of invasive vectors, identify gaps,and promote collaborative research and exchanges across sectors and disciplines. The symposium aims also to foster private-public partnership for creating novel – pathways forproduct development.
