colleagues, one of the biggest changes in the world is its increasing ethnic diversity, and this Congress will be addressing the relationship between population change and disease pattern change. I hope members of the ethnic health list, the diversity Rx list, South Asian health foundation, EUPHA migration, ethnicity and health section, and the Ethnicity group in Edinburgh will be submitting abstracts, and possibly even workshop proposals. May I request that you let as many people know as possible about this opportunity as soon as possible. Raj PS Amy and Gary I am copying this to you to keep you informed. Please encourage all members of our committees to do the same kind of cascading, starting with our own departments. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: IEA World Congress of Epidemiology 2011 - GROUP SYMPOSIUM SUBMISSION DEADLINE 22 OCTOBER 2010 Date: Fri, 1 Oct 2010 15:38:51 +0100 From: Amy Abel <[log in to unmask]> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Dear Colleague, *ABSTRACT SUBMISSION NOW OPEN – Group Symposium Submission Deadline 22^nd October 2010* On behalf of the Scientific Committee I am writing to advise that abstract submission in now open for the IEA World Congress of Epidemiology taking place from the 7 – 11 August 2011 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, UK.
