Vector Atlas Kick-off Meeting

The international Vector Atlas team gathered at the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) Duduville campus in Nairobi from 4 to 8 July 2022 to celebrate the launch of this project, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The event brought together data and geospatial experts, spatial modellers and platform developers all of whom are involved in developing the new Vector Atlas.
The launch event was a great success, allowing many participants to meet face to face for the first time. Over three upbeat and productive days, we confirmed the solid foundations of the project and mapped out the future timetable for the next three years.
