Since 2016, BIA has been actively participating in the GAIN Annual Meeting (German Academic International Network) and after the virtual conferences in the last two years, the GAIN Annual Meeting now was held in presence. The conference took place from September 2-4, 2022 in Bonn and for the first time addresses scientists from Germany who are currently doing research mainly in other European countries and partly in Asia and Africa. Dr. Nathalie Huber and Dr. Iwan Meij represented BIH with a booth at the "Talent Fair" and held talks with promising high-potential applicants for BIA funding programs and provided general information about BIH.
