Thursday October 10, 2019
Gresham Hotel, Dublin
Fighting Blindness are delighted to host the upcoming Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Vision Research workshop on Thursday October 10 at the Gresham Hotel. This half-day workshop will be hosted on World Sight Day, and will bring together researchers, people living with sight loss conditions and members of the public to work together on research projects.
