[b] The 19[sup]th[/sup] european meeting of the paleopathology association[/b]
Two fields of research frequently contribute to the development of paleopathology - the sociocultural sciences and medical sciences. In the sociocultural sciences research is usually undertaken in laboratories and departments devoted to the humanities, while in the medical sciences research is typically within located medical schools. These two types of research, and the differing philosophical concepts behind them, can lead to ideological conflict, as the contributions of both fields to paleopathology are unbalanced. The medical sciences have the benefit of understanding the lesions caused by disease in humans, and the symptoms of those diseases recorded in written texts from the past. Conversely, the anthropological sciences have the benefit of understanding the archaeological context of the material under investigation, and the cultural context of the past population in question. However, the contribution of paleopathology to both fields seems to favour the anthropological sciences, as most paleopathology articles are published by anthropologists and bioarchaeologists in anthropological journals.
We deeply believe that paleopathology is an autonomous science to which medicine and bioarchaeology should be equal contributors and beneficiaries. This is why we are so pleased to hold the 19th European Conference of the Paleopathology Association in the precincts of the Palais des Beaux Arts of Lille (lectures, papers and poster exhibitions) and in the «Département d'Anatomie» of the Faculté de Médecine, Université Lille Nord de France (workshops). The success of the 2010 Vienna meeting hosted in the prestigious Natural History Museum by Pr Maria Teschler-Nicola and her team boosts our determination for an equivalent standard of program preparation and meeting organization. We hope too that the nationally recognized welcoming nature of the people of northern France (Ch'tis) will provide participants with a friendly and convivial environment for their conference.

[left]The theme for the 2012 UICC World Cancer Congress is Connecting for Global Impact – and highlights the need for continued support and momentum in translating the benefits of knowledge gained through research and practice to those living with and affected by cancer. [/left]
UICC believes this can be achieved through global actions, which will result through connections and partnerships made through the international cancer control community at the Congress.
To increase connections, as well as learning and interactions, the 2012 meeting will focus on providing education and training opportunities throughout the programme including interactive meetings, forums, workshops and sessions. The preliminary programme is now available for download below.
Together we can save millions of lives by focusing on what needs to be done and taking the lead in:
• Putting cancer on the global health agenda
• Convening the cancer community
• Running global programmes
On top of the programme, the new UICC Global Village will represent an ideal platform for fellow participants to network and connect.
Don't miss the opportunity to attend the 22nd edition of the UICC World Cancer Congress and participate in a dynamic and vibrant meeting held over 4 days.
