The deadline for abstract submission is July 15th 2013.

The 7th International Congress on Glaucoma Surgery (ICGS), will be held in Singapore, from February 20-22, 2014. Over the last 12 years, the ICGS has become synonymous with the highest caliber scientific meeting in the field of Glaucoma.

We are expecting around 1000, including the virtual who’s who of the world of glaucoma: a multinational cast of key glaucoma leaders, premier guest speakers, and corporate representatives from all glaucoma-related fields. Our target audience includes glaucoma specialists, general ophthalmologists, and related professionals from all over the world.

The world of glaucoma surgery is evolving at a dynamic pace that requires harmonization with research, technological advances, device innovations, and technical refinements in the surgical management of glaucoma. With laser and surgical therapy being the prime focus, the ICGS also endeavors to incorporate all aspects of glaucoma care, including epidemiology, diagnostics and medical therapy in order to be increasingly relevant to the glaucoma practitioner and researcher. This unique scientific meeting generates great enthusiasm and is renowned for garnering wide spread interest and enrolment.

Call for Abstracts: International Workshop on the Medical and Surgical Management of Chronic Pancreatitis

February 6-8, 2014 Kiawah Island, South Carolina

The International Workshop on the Medical and Surgical Management of Chronic Pancreatitis will be held at the Sanctuary in Kiawah Island, South Carolina, February 6-8, 2014. Chronic pancreatitis remains a challenge to those who treat it and those who suffer from it, a group that has been marginalized by the health care profession. Our century offers many opportunities to better define the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic pancreatitis.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading scientists, physicians and surgeons interested in improving patient care in chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract submission will open August 4, 2013 and close at 11:59pm ET on October 1, 2013.

During the two and one half day interdisciplinary meeting, we will have a total of 5 sessions for invited speakers with 3-5 speakers in each session. In addition to the invited lectures we will have 5-6 free papers in each session and 2 poster sessions for submitted abstracts. The Organizing Committee encourages you to submit your latest and best work to the Program Committee. Previously presented, unpublished work may be submitted.

Call for Papers: Global Health 2013, The Second International Conference on Global Health Challenges

November 17 - 22, 2013 - Lisbon, Portugal

Submission deadline (full paper): June 26, 2013

Recent advances in technology and computational science influenced a large spectrum of branches in approaching population health. Despite significant progresses, many challenges exist, including health informatics, cross-country platforms interoperability, system and laws harmonization, protection of health data, practical solutions, accessibility to health services, and many others. Along with technological progress, personalized medicine, ambient assistance and pervasive health complement patient needs. A combination of classical and information-driven approach is developing now, where diagnosis systems, data protection mechanisms, remote assistance and hospital-processes are converging.

GLOBAL HEALTH 2013 takes a global perspective on population health, from national to cross-country approaches, multiplatform technologies, from drug design to medicine accessibility, everything under mobile, ubiquitous, and personalized characteristics of new age population.

We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

All topics and submission formats are open to both research and industry contributions.
