Biomedical scientists to take part in international conference
Friday 28th November 2008
Biomedical scientists from around the world will be among the medical professionals taking part in an upcoming conference to be held in South Africa.
Entitled 'Science and community: engage to empower', the event is due to begin on December 2nd and will focus on boosting public engagement work in developing countries.
It will be held at the Africa Centre for Health and Population Studies in KwaZulu-Natal.
Commenting on the conference, Dr Bella Starling, who heads the Wellcome Trust's international public engagement programme, said: "Many of these practitioners will be working on their own, with only virtual communication with counterparts in other countries.
"Meeting face-to-face will enable us to develop a strong and dynamic network, leading to valuable improvements in the field."
Established in 1936, the Wellcome Trust is a non-governmental source of funds for biomedical research to improve human and animal health.
It has an endowment of around £15 billion.
