The International Malaria Conclave 2026 is a flagship global event organized by the ICMR–National Institute of Malaria Research (NIMR), dedicated to fostering collaboration, innovation, and actionable strategies toward achieving malaria elimination and advancing beyond it. The conclave brings together leading scientists, public health experts, policymakers, innovators, and young researchers from across the world to exchange insights, showcase breakthroughs, and chart the roadmap for a malaria-free future.
With the central theme “Discovery, Development, and Delivery: Driving Malaria Elimination and Beyond,” the conclave emphasizes the complete research-to-implementation pipeline — from foundational discoveries in parasite and vector biology to the development of cutting-edge tools, technologies, and interventions, and finally, their effective delivery to the communities that need them most.
The event will feature plenary lectures, panel discussions, scientific presentations, and interactive sessions covering a wide range of topics including:
- Innovations in Vector Control and Surveillance
- Advances in Diagnostics, Vaccines, and Therapeutics
- Genomics, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Health Applications
- Drug Resistance and Parasite Biology
- Community Engagement and Policy Integration
- Strategies for Sustaining Malaria Elimination in the Post-Elimination Era
The conclave also serves as a strategic platform for dialogue between researchers, program implementers, and decision-makers, enabling the translation of scientific discoveries into scalable, field-ready solutions. Through this convergence of science, policy, and practice, the International Malaria Conclave 2026 aims to strengthen global partnerships and reaffirm commitments toward eliminating malaria as a public health threat.
Hosted in India — a nation at the forefront of the malaria elimination drive and home to pioneering research and innovation — the conclave promises to inspire transformative discussions and collaborations that will shape the future of malaria control and global health.
Join us at the International Malaria Conclave 2026, organized by ICMR–NIMR, as we unite under one goal: to discover, develop, and deliver solutions that drive malaria elimination and beyond
