2nd International e-Conference on Biomedial, Environmental and Nutritional Health Sciences (IeCBEN 2009)

Dates: 23rd Nov- 4th Dec 2009. Second Announcement!

Objectives of this e-Conference

The International e-Conference on Bio-medical, Environmental and Nutritional Health Sciences intends to reduce the cost of participation in conferences, and thereby increase participation and visibility of scientists especially from developing countries who might lack financial resources and opportunities to participate in conferences away from their home countries. This e-Conference provides a platform for scientists, practitioners and entrepreneurs in biomedical, environmental and nutritional health sciences to present their findings, ideas and products to their peers and to the academic, research and development/funding agencies across the world. Publication and archiving of the proceedings on the internet and in diverse media (Journal articles, Book of proceedings, Posters or powerpoint presentation) enhances the reach and visibility of participants and their work globally. The 1st IeCBEN was held in 2008, you can view the proceedings from this e-conference through link below.

Topics

1. These include all areas of medical and veterinary sciences relating to diagnosis and management of diseases. Here to include non-medicinal approaches to disease prevention and management.

2. The human environment, its management and implications to health, biodiversity and conservation.

3. Nutrition, food and feed sciences as they affect health and quality of life.   

4. Biotechnology applications in medical and environmental sciences.

5. Climate change and its associated effects on ecology, livelihoods, biodiversity.
