The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is organising a medical trade fair – the HKTDC Hong Kong International Medical Devices and Supplies Fair on 4-6 November 2009. The Chinese mainland government’s announcement in April 2009 of a 850-billion yuan medical care system reform plan is leading to an increase in medical expenditure and the number of medical device licences being issued, creating many valuable business opportunities for the healthcare sector. The medical fair offers the perfect chance to make the most of this initiative.

More information about the fair:

The program will highlight numerous hot topics including new
devices for trancatheter therapeutics, drug eluting stents, novel
molecular therapeutics, vascular molecular biology, restenosis
solutions, adjunctive drug therapy, carotid and valvular interventions,
heart failure interventions and navigational and guidance
percutaneous technologies. Included will be emerging technology
sessions, industry-academia discussions, and a review of the
regulatory aspects of new devices. Thematic live case
demonstrations and clinical overviews on specific topics with an
emphasis on future perspectives will be presented by leading international experts.

More information about the conference and registration can be found here.

The Academic Cooperation Association (ACA), an
independent European organization dedicated to the management,
analysis and improvement of education and training co-operation
within Europe and between Europe and other parts of the world, organizes
a seminar “What’s in a name? The changing nature of mobility” on 27 March
2009, in Brussels.

 

It is a great challenge to consider and reconsider our knowledge regarding the amorphous and nanostructured chalcogenides.
