Meet Us at the MDPI World Autism Awareness Day Webinar 2023, 2 April 2023
In order to commemorate World Autism Awareness Day 2023, MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to join together, take action, and highlight how the exchange of findings facilitates efforts to raise awareness about autism.
Over the past decade, major progress has been made towards increasing access to education generally, as well as for persons with autism specifically.
The webinar aims to encourage connections and collaboration among autism researchers and the international Open Access community to help improve the lives of those with autism.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the MDPI World Autism Awareness Day Webinar 2023.
