  Scientific Day 2007
  Thursday, June 7, 2007

  After the success of the previous MSF Scientific Days, it is a great
pleasure to announce that this year’s event will take place on:

  Thursday, June 7, 2007 at the Great Hall,
[http://www.bartsandthelondon.org.uk/aboutus/st_bartholomews_hospital_aboutus.asp]
St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London EC1.

At the Scientific Day, recent operational research projects and
epidemiological investigations will be presented by speakers from MSF,
Epicentre, as well as invited external speakers.

  We hope that this day will provide a platform from which to share the
research experiences of MSF with partners within and outside MSF and to
encourage debate and networking across disciplines and organisations.

The event will be relevant for all those interested in the scientific and
medical aspects of humanitarian aid; including medical workers, staff of
medical and humanitarian NGO's, infectious disease and tropical medicine
experts, students and policy makers.

In previous years the event has reveived Continuing Professional
Development accreditation and we will be applying for this again this
year.
