Dear colleagues,

Thank you to everyone who joined the ABI Stakeholder Engagement Session last week. We appreciate your participation, thoughtful questions, and valuable feedback. For those who were unable to attend but would still like to stay informed, we’ve made the session materials available:

Slides: Attached

During the session, we ran two polls, one on the proposed ABI governance structure and another on how students would like to engage with the Institute. The results of both are attached for your reference.

A few important updates shared during the meeting:

• Call for ABI Hub Hosts The bid to host the ABI Hub officially opens today. For more information and application details, please visit: https://redcap.link/e3v098ka

• Upcoming ABI Summer School Planning for the 2026 Summer School is underway through the Training Working Group. Calls for trainers and participant applications will be shared soon.

Thank you once again for your continued interest and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Kind regards, Munadia Ansarie On behalf of the ABI Core Team
