Preparations for the upcoming 20th IEA
World Congress of Epidemiology in Anchorage Alaska in August
2014 are well underway, according to Tina Day, one of the
conference organizers. More than 700 persons have registered to
date and an expected 1200 will register before the time of the
meeting. A series of raffles in April, May and June are being
held to encourage early registration. So far, a Norweigian
colleague Bente Morseth has been the lucky winner of a
free airfare, and Seidou Moulah from Cameroon and
Shizukiyo Ishikawa from Japan are the winners of free
registrations. Hotel accommodations are being raffled in June
for those who register prior to May 31.
A total of 75 persons from 22 different countries
have been selected as bursary recipients and will attend the
international conference.
Registrations for the pre-conference short
courses entitled Emerging Issues in Epidemiology, Epidemiology
for the Non-Initiated, and Best Practices in Publishing Clinical
and Public Health Research are increasing briskly, according to
Day.
The conference at-a-glance schedule is presented
in another section of this month’s issue.
