Frontiers of Prevention 2025

Since 2017, Frontiers of Prevention, I-GMAP’s annual international forum, has brought academic researchers and prevention practitioners from governments, international organizations, and civil society to ßÙßÇÂþ»­â€™s Downtown Campus for two days of conversation, sharing notes and experiences, and forming new professional connections and networks.
