EU-CIS Seminar - New Trends in Infectious Diseases
Nouvelles perspectives dans le domaine des maladies infectieuses
Lyon, France, 26-28 November 2008
Taking place in Lyon, the seminar will combine twenty eight presentations of scientific achievements divided in five topical sessions: (i) Public Health, Epidemiology and Diseases Surveillance, (ii) Drug Resistant Infectious Diseases, (iii) MDR-TB: Characterization and Diagnostics, (iv) MDR-TB: Vaccines, Drug Design and Development, (v) Zoonoses. It is intended for Scientists from National Laboratories and Institutes, Government Agencies, University Professors, and the Pharmaceutical Industry. The main purpose is to foster former USSR weapon scientists to promote themselves and to help them secure interest with possibly financing for further joint peaceful research activities.
The event approach is to have three dedicated days. After the official opening around noon on Wednesday the presentations will alternate between CIS and French Scientists. In support to the event presentations, sector-related Technology Profile Forms and Institute Profile Forms will be made available. During Friday all day, Scientists will be given a presentation of the Lyon Biopole cluster and they will have an opportunity to conduct bilateral meetings with French Research and Industry Representatives (www.lyonbiopole.org).

Benefiting from STCU Partner Program
The STCU's Research Partnership Program is recognized as a convenient and reliable mean to establish contacts with members of the science community of Azerbaidjan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, in order to initiate Research projects. Up to now, more than 172 organizations from various STCU Donor Countries became STCU Partners. They entrust STCU to associate them with science teams capable to deliver breakthrough results. Since the establishment of the Partnership Program in 1997, STCU Partners have contributed over 34 million USD, and received a total R&D return valued at approximately 10 times their initial investments.
Private Companies, Industrial and Research Organizations, Governmental Agencies from Canada, the European Union, and the United States of America, can apply for Partner Status. Learn more about the Program, its practical steps required, how to submit a Partner Proposal and conclude a Governmental Partner Project Agreement or a Non-Governmental Partner Project Agreement, and finally how to benefit from working with the STCU.
