Invitation to Virtual Conference – Bridging the Sciences: New Approaches to Child Protection

June 2^nd and June 3^rd, 2025

We are pleased to share an important opportunity to engage with a groundbreaking perspective on child protection as a public health priority.

The conference, "Bridging the Sciences: New Approaches to Child Protection," challenges the traditional view of child protection as solely a policy issue. Instead, it highlights the deeper, systemic nature of these concerns—requiring multidisciplinary solutions. 

Hosted by the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) in collaboration with Childlight and the Emory Department of Pediatrics (with partnership from Dr. Raymond Schinazi), this event will explore innovative strategies to address this urgent public health challenge.

Key Details:
📅 Date: June 2^nd and June 3^rd 
📍 Format: Virtual (Free Registration)
🎓 CME Credits: Available for eligible participants
