The 7th meeting of the Scientific Asvosory Board of the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) took place from March 26 to 28, 2025.

This committee brings together nine high-level scientific experts from various countries: Cambodia (3), Australia (2), France (2), Singapore, and Japan (1).

This council reviewed the activities of the Institute’s various entities and met with scientific staff from various categories (unit heads, scientists, students, etc.).

The recommendations made at the end of these three days of intensive work are particularly valuable and useful in guiding the development of our Institute’s organization and activities.

The Institute is very grateful to these leading scientists for devoting these three days of their often busy schedule to the life of the IPC.
