Dear colleagues,

 

Please find attached the second announcement of the First Scientific meeting of the Global Cassava Partnership - GCP-I, in Ghent, July 21-25, 2008.  

You will find all the information that you need to appreciate the content of the meeting and all other information relative to deadlines for registration.

You can register online as of February 1, 2008.

 

I want to bring to your attention that the program will be very dense, as usual, with plenary sessions, presentations, posters sessions and evening round tables on specific topics.  Presentations will be selected by the session chairs on invitation or on the basis of the abstracts. Therefore, the sooner you file an abstract, the more chances you have to make a presentation. You can file as many abstracts as you want! The deadline is May 15, 2008!

 

The second point I want to make is because we are short on time, there will be NO pre-registration, but only registration. Registration will be open until June 15, 2008 without a surcharge.

 

The third point is to mention that we have not yet received all the financial support we hope to, in order to award travel grants, but we believe it will be in place shortly (GCP-I travel grant conditions and application form will be available on the meeting website soon).  It is our intent to help as many scientists from developing countries as possible.

 

Please book your accommodation in time because Ghent will be very busy the week of July 21-25 as there will be a famous 10-days festival in the city!

 

Please circulate this announcement to as many colleagues as you can possibly think off. The more attendees we get, the better the meeting will be!

 

All the best and see you in Ghent,

 

Claude Fauquet
