Caros amigos

Mais uma vez a Sociedade Brasileira de Genética tem a satisfação de anunciar o seu encontro anual. Desta vez o local escolhido foi Salvador (BA), primeira capital do Brasil – sede do Vice-Reino de Portugal (1549-1763). Em setembro estaremos dizendo “foi aqui que tudo começou”. É com essa sensação agradável de reviver o passado e testemunhar nosso desenvolvimento como Nação que vamos focar nossas lentes acadêmicas na integração de dois campos separados há quase um século em razão da natureza historicamente fracionada das ciências da vida – a evolução e o desenvolvimento. Este Campo “novo” chamado resumidamente de evo-devo será dissecado por especialistas brasileiros e de várias outras partes do mundo. Paralelamente estaremos tratando também de outros temas, dos mais básicos até os mais aplicados, que são objetos das atividades dos pesquisadores brasileiros.

A programação preliminar destacando alguns convidados nacionais e estrangeiros já confirmados antecipa o sucesso do 54o Congresso Brasileiro de Genética. Venha contribuir, com a sua sabedoria e ânsia de conhecimentos, para esta grande festa, de 16 a 19 de setembro, no Centro de Convenções do Bahia Othon Palace Hotel.

Scientific Information for Society -from Today to the Future
http://www.codata.org/08conf/index.html

WELCOME
The information society in the world is at a nascent stage. It creates new conditions for youth in the present Digital Age and promotes the Elite Education for the next generation of young scientists and businessmen resulting in further economic growth by industrial competitiveness through research and technological innovation (RTD), in improving people health care and living standards.

How can the present wise and business experienced generation of scientists help their young successors? How are data transferred to knowledge? What are the most effective technologies for the huge number of data treatments and for the huge number of calculations? What are the best ways of transferring knowledge from one generation to the other? What are the most critical problems in human life to be solved by joint efforts of present and future generations of scientists? How do we establish the World Research Area for scientists’ co-operation?

The answers to these and other questions will be explored at the 21st International CODATA Conference "Scientific Information for Society - from Today to the Future" to be held 5-8 October 2008 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Scientific Information for Society -from Today to the Future
http://www.codata.org/08conf/index.html

WELCOME
The information society in the world is at a nascent stage. It creates new conditions for youth in the present Digital Age and promotes the Elite Education for the next generation of young scientists and businessmen resulting in further economic growth by industrial competitiveness through research and technological innovation (RTD), in improving people health care and living standards.

How can the present wise and business experienced generation of scientists help their young successors? How are data transferred to knowledge? What are the most effective technologies for the huge number of data treatments and for the huge number of calculations? What are the best ways of transferring knowledge from one generation to the other? What are the most critical problems in human life to be solved by joint efforts of present and future generations of scientists? How do we establish the World Research Area for scientists’ co-operation?

The answers to these and other questions will be explored at the 21st International CODATA Conference "Scientific Information for Society - from Today to the Future" to be held 5-8 October 2008 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

EuroBiO is pleased to announce this unique initiative to capture value from
world class biotechnology research. The European Federation of
Biotechnology, as the voice of science for Europe’s biotechnology community,
supports not only research, but innovation. When so much of the value of worldclass
science is often not captured, not commercialized or brought to society, it is
crucial to actively support not just research, but its application.
