Proceedings of the XXXIV GIRI meeting and V International Workshop on Homeopathy

Abstract

The XXXIV annual GIRI Meeting was held for the first time together with the V International Workshop on Homeopathy (IWH) in frames of an academic-scientific partnership between the Brazilian Public University (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, UFRJ) and the GIRI society (International Research Group on Very Low Dose and High Dilution Effects). This event occurred on December 2nd to 4th 2021 as online conference. Thanks to the partnership as well as the use of the virtual platform, the GIRI meeting 2021 reached the highest visibility in the whole history of already 34 meetings (there were ca. 600 inscriptions and more than 14 000 page views on the last conference day). At the meeting 12 abstracts were presented as oral contributions and further 34 as e-posters. The 5th Edition of International Workshop on Homeopathy regarded “The scientific evidence of homeopathy in health care” and provided the possibilities to exchange scientific experiences, to discuss many research details, and to meet other researchers involved into basic and clinical homeopathic research from all over the world. The scientific sections were dedicated to the following subjects:
 
 Homeopathy teaching and practice;
 Chemical and physical models;
 In vivo and in vitro models;
 Clinical trials.
 
 We are convinced that the content of the present special issue of the International Journal High Dilution Research dedicated to the memories of XXXIV GIRI meeting will bring new insights to the homeopathic scientific community.
