Meeting the challenges of resistance and sustainability
​
​
​
An international workshop for academics and industry professionals
Queens' College Cambridge - September 9-12, 2025
Our changing planet and global health and food networks present complex challenges for the future. The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation estimate that 20-40% of the world's harvests are lost to crop pests and diseases. The World Health Organisation estimates that over 700, 000 people die each year from mosquito borne diseases, with millions more suffering ill health. Almost half the planet's population is at risk from infection by soil transmitted worm parasites with devastating health and socio-economic impact.
​
This workshop explores the complex global challenges we face, as international experts discuss new solutions for control of vectors pests and parasites drawing on their expertise in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, genetics and clinical and field studies.
The workshop will be held in Queens’ College Cambridge, with its modern conference facilities, on-site accommodation & meals.
Conference Dinner will be in the Old Hall, dating back to the College’s foundation in 1448.
During the conference there will be a Queens’ Old Library exhibition of rare books on Insects including accounts of early efforts on insect control.
