FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dr. Osman Sankoh
Dear INDEPTH family,
At the end of April, my big challenge would have been how to ‘pick and choose’ from all that was happening here at INDEPTH and write about what I thought would be of interest to you.
Fortunately, my colleagues whispered in my ear that they had already sent you our latest news bulletin which contains the following news items:
I shall wait a while if you want to review those topics again. I’m waiting… Done? OK. So that I don’t bore you with the same information, I have decided to focus only on the Annual General and Scientific Meeting.
If you didn’t already know that our 8th AGM would be held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania from 22-26 September 2008, and that it would coincide with INDEPTH’s 10th anniversary, then I would have had cause to worry, and would have asked my team at the Secretariat why we had failed so miserably.
The good news is that online registration for the AGM is still open at http://www.indepth-network.org/events/8agm/8agm_1stcall.htm. In fact the deadline for the submission of abstracts has been extended to 30 May.
The other exciting news is that everyone who wants to attend this 10th anniversary of INDEPTH may register online. In fact, this is what we expect.Read More»
