Dear colleagues,
It is my pleasure to send you the
preliminary programme and call for Abstracts of the 5th
Iberian and 2nd Iberoamerican Congress of
Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (CICTA 2003) entitled
"Environmental Problems in an Iberoamerican Context".
I would like to give you three main reasons
regarding the importance of your participation in CICTA 2003:
First, it will be an excellent opportunity
to discuss problems related to environmental contamination, with special
relevance for the situation in Iberoamerican countries. The presence of
colleagues from different regions and working in different research areas
will certainly be a valuable contribution in facing these problems from an
integrated perspective and to delineate new lines of action. This will
also be a good opportunity to promote new collaborations and to bring
closer the relationships already existing.
Second, after the formal and legal
constitution of the Iberoamerican Society of Environmental Contamination
and Toxicology (SICTA) as a non-profit scientific association, it is time
to elect its Directive Boards for the next two years. The elections will
be held during CICTA 2003 and the actual provisional council is pleased to
organise the election process. Therefore, I would like to invite you to
kindly propose candidate lists for the Directive Boards of SICTA (see
General
Assembly page for details).
Finally, the third reason is the
importance of your contribution to the choice of SICTA definitive
logotype. For this, I would also like to invite you to actively
participate in the process by sending your logotype proposal as soon as
possible (see SICTA
General
Assembly page for details).
Looking forward to the pleasure of seeing
you in Porto for CICTA 2003,
Best regards.
Lúcia Guilhermino
President of SICTA
