Come to Thailand: The Majesty of an Enduring Culture,
Joined to Knowledge for a Healthful Future
.........On behalf of the
Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco and many
local and regional sponsors, it is my pleasure to invite
you to the very first, Asian Regional SRNT Meeting in
Bangkok, Thailand, October 28-31, 2008.
.........This conference
is special in several ways. Its theme is “Developing Research
Infrastructure and Skills to Meet FCTC Obligations.” This
means that participants will be actively involved in a
process that will go beyond mere sharing of experience.
Working together, conference participants will build connections
and plans for future research cooperation.
.........Luckily, the Framework
Convention on Tobacco Control gives us all a foundation
for making future research plans. Workshops and training
sessions will build on this foundation with vital tools
integrated into the conference schedule.
....... I have worked with
the Organizing Committee to be sure that this conference
is designed to give every participant an opportunity to
contribute to building tobacco control research infrastructure.
This gives you a unique opportunity to be part of an important
unfolding process. Come to Bangkok for tobacco control
progress in Asia! P.S. You will find Thailand a vibrant
destination that the Social Committee will give you ample
opportunity to see! Don’t miss it!
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Prakit Vathesatogkit
Chair, SRNT Bangkok 2008
