This is a new great opportunity to welcome our friends from the Radiation Oncology Group of EORTC. Ten years ago, in spring of 2000, just after the change of the millennium, I had the pleasure of hosting you in my city. Now, I am keen to repeat this terrific experience. Today, economics is not in its best moments and funding is scarce for all, mainly for some medical specialties. This is especially harder for Radiation Oncology, as we have often faced such difficulties, and for many years, we have been working to demonstrate we are a key for cancer treatment. Despite this, we are preparing an excellent occasion to meet with all our ROG fellow members, as well as others that would like join us.

ROG is, arguably, the most active group in the history of EORTC, if based not just on scientific production but also in the personal sphere. Becoming a member of the ROG gave me the opportunity to learn a lot, including being active, in many clinical trials and the opportunity to share nice papers! Thanks to you all, one feels happy and at home with the ROG.

The aim of this workshop, as with previous HLDA Workshops, is to provide an invaluable and ongoing service to the scientific community.

HLDA9 will study a panel of monoclonal antibodies against B cell-associated molecules. Only monoclonal antibodies against known cloned molecules will be included in the panel. Thus, no unknown antibody blind panels will be carried out. Some antibodies against known CD molecules expressed on B cells will also be included in this panel. MAbs will be provided by both researches and companies.

1. Determine the reactivity of the mAbs on normal B cells and B cell malignancies.
2. Defining new B cell subsets.
3. Determining the expression of the B-cell associated molecules on other hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells.
4. Identification and expression of intracellular molecules or epitopes of B cell associated molecules.
5. Study of phospho-epitopes and other intracellular signaling molecules such as adapter molecules
6. Determine the triggered activation/apoptosis induced by therapeutic mAbs, particularly chimeric/ humanised/human mAbs

Sections (updated)

The Workshop studies will be coordinated by four chairpersons, each responsible for a section.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We have great pleasure in inviting you to participate in the 13th World Congress on Cancers of the Skin (WCCS) that will be held in Madrid, the capital of Spain, from April 7-10, 2010. Six years ago, the delegates of the Skin Cancer Foundation had to choose the venue for the 9th World Congress, which was then held in Seville (Spain). The preparations for the Congress were undertaken by the Spanish Association of Skin Cancer (ASECCUT) together with the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV), and was a great success. Now that the World Congress will be held in Spain for a second time, the ASECCUT and the AEDV made a proposal to the Skin Cancer Foundation for the 13th WCCS to be held in Madrid, which has become a consolidated congress venue. Experience has proven that the congresses held in Madrid have always fulfilled their participants’ expectations. The recent Centennial Congress of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology is an example. In a year of changes and difficulties, such as this one, the fact that this Congress has once again returned to Spain, also has a general and very relevant symbolic meaning. The World Congress on Cancers of the Skin in Madrid has been made possible thanks to the magnificent work done by our colleagues in Madrid to further the growth and improvement of our Association.

The Local Organising Committee is very proud to host dermatologists, oncologists, epidemiologists, physicians and all the world’s best professionals who work in the field of skin cancer. The venue of the 13th WCCS will be the Hotel Meliá Castilla, which is already well-known to many of you from the various congresses held there by the International Society of Dermatologic Surgery and other international Symposia. Its location and many conference rooms make it ideally suited for this type of Congress. In general lines, the scientific programme has been designed to reflect the ongoing endeavour of the ASECCUT and AEDV to make available to their members the latest developments in dermatological science and it will surely be welcomed by those attending the congress. The programme will feature plenary sessions, symposia and satellite symposia that will provide ample opportunities to get up to date on epidemiology, diagnostics and therapeutic developments relating to Skin Cancers. The Evening Session on Public Education around the World will be of special interest, and also has press participation.

Sixth International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability

This Conference aims to address the many inter-related aspects of the urban environment from transport and mobility to social exclusion and crime prevention. The meeting will build on the contributions made in previous conferences, which successfully managed to provide an international view of the problems facing modern cities and their solutions.

Urban areas produce a series of environmental problems arising from the consumption of natural resources and the consequent generation of waste and pollution. These problems contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances. All these problems, that continue to grow in our society, require the development of new solutions.

The landmark EAU 25^th Anniversary Congress will be held in the beautiful city of Barcelona, the capital of the region of Catalonia in Spain. As the destination city Barcelona will provide the perfect backdrop for this significant event. For the first time this special EAU Annual Congress will be held over a weekend from Friday 16 to Tuesday 20 April 2010. We will be celebrating a silver jubilee event which will bring together medical professionals from around the world. Over the last 25 years, the EAU has consistently served as a platform for urological professionals to share new insights and improve knowledge, with the common goal of improving patient care worldwide.

The success of the Annual EAU Congressunderlines the crucial role of the scientific programme’s quality. In recent years we have not only seen an increase in the number of participants but also the growth and development of what is now an outstanding scientific programme. A wide range of topics and pressing issues in our specialty will be presented, including paediatrics, bladder cancer, female urology, renal cell carcinoma, reconstruction and functional urology, benign prostatic obstruction and stones, to name but a few.  The 25^th Anniversary EAU Congressin Barcelona expects to attract more than 11,000 delegates and approximately 3,000 company representatives.

The economic crisis has brought about a number of significant changes in the Roaming industry. Radically reducing your roaming cost base in terms of supplier costs, wholesale rates and IOTs is an absolute priority. Looking for ways to safeguard revenues in the face of the dramatic drop in tourism is also essential.

In addition to safeguarding profits, Mobile Operators have also been forced to get more creative and develop new revenue streams.That is why we have developed targeted sessions on roaming customer segmentation, data propositions for the iPhone and looking at ways to encourage new roamers.

If you are looking at ways to increase the profitability of your roaming operations, then this event is a must attend for YOU!

So by attending IIR`s Roaming World Congress, you will be able to learn what leading Mobile Operators are doing to address the following issues:

• Establishing how to reduce your roaming cost base
• Developing compelling pricing propositions for non-traditional roamers
• Developing a segmentation strategy for your roamers and developing compelling offers
• Determining how to optimise the business case for roaming hubbing
• Evaluating the impact of regulation on your roaming operations
• Understanding how to effectively implement and manage your anti-bill shock software
• Calculating the business case for enabling free voicemail to your roamers
• Establishing how to develop affordable data roaming packages for the iPhone
• Determining how to create service bundles that include roaming for your residential customers
• Maximising the business case for deploying QoS solutions
• Establishing how to drive profitability from your traffic steering data

Engaged employees care about the future of the company and are willing to invest the discretionary effort. Engaged employees feel a strong emotional bond to the organization that employs them.

Only 29% of employees are actively engaged in their jobs. These employees work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company. People that are actively engaged help move the organization forward. 84% of highly engaged employees believe they can positively impact quality of their organization`s products, compared with only 31% of the disengaged 72% of highly engaged employees believe they can positively affect customer service, versus 27% of the disengaged 68% of highly engaged employees believe they can positively impact costs in their job or unit, compared with just 19% of the disengaged.

Engaged employees feel a strong emotional bond to the organization that employs them. This is associated with people demonstrating willingness to recommend the organization to others and commit time and effort to help the organization succeed. It suggests that people are motivated by intrinsic factors (e.g. personal growth, working to a common purpose, being part of a larger process) rather than simply focusing on extrinsic factors (e.g., pay/reward).

During the seminar our experienced speakers will present on:

• Engagement Theory - latest updates on the thinking, trends etc - gets everyone on same page as to subject
• Engagement Survey - Case Study on a company`s experience and particular focus on where they have done something different with the analysis
• Results to Action - Case Study where company has made inroads into driving the business to own the results and made tangible actions against it
• Drivers of Engagement - Insight into a company who has done work in response to a particular engagement issue or driver.
• Wider Engagement initiatives - case study of company working on world cafes, brand alignment programme.

The 2010 conference theme is “deciphering”, with all its possible referents, including: Do we decipher digits, codes, data, words, texts, images, symbols, natural phenomena, and scientific results? How do we decipher them? By using whatever available: Logic, systematic decoding, scientific knowledge, technological sophistication or anything else? We invite panels and individual papers on these or related topics, but will give full consideration to any proposal within AHLiST’s scope.

9^th European Conference on Research Methodology for Business and Management Studies

The European Conference on Research Methodology for Business and Management Studies (ECRM 2010) is an opportunity for academics to share the latest thinking on research strategies, tactics and paradigms. The variety of methods in common use and the continuing debate on what constitutes ‘new knowledge’ makes this a lively field and one which affects all academics and others involved in business research. The search for new ideas, new methodologies and even new paradigms is both endless and fascinating. This conference offers an opportunity to engage with contemporary thinking in Business research and join in the sometimes lively debates, inside and outside of the formal sessions, that are a regular feature of the conference.

In its twelfth year, and endorsed by leading professional societies and organizations, the Congress is the premier global event in the field, encompassing malignancies affecting every component of the gastrointestinal tract and aspects related to the care of patients with gastrointestinal cancer, including screening, diagnosis and the latest management options for common and uncommon tumors.

With the focus on personalized therapy, multidisciplinary management and unraveling molecular mechanisms, this event will educate and update the broad range of experts who participate in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, providing a clear overview for treatment. Over 70 expert specialists will lead the sessions and meet with participants in small targeted groups, making the scientific agenda the most comprehensive and most effective in addressing the educational needs of physicians. Specialized sessions for nurses, surgeons and young medical oncologists provide enhanced educational opportunities.

Presentation of cutting-edge research has become one of the highlights of the World Congress, offering opportunities for researchers worldwide to interact with colleagues and share their endeavors with the healthcare community.  In 2009, more than 400 abstracts were accepted for presentation and publication in a special supplement to the Annals of Oncology. We invite you to participate in this year’s meeting by submitting an abstract to be considered for presentation.

Satellite symposia, supported by a variety of pharmaceutical companies, will be open to Congress attendees free of charge. Topics have been chosen to complement the plenary sessions of the Congress.

As part of its ongoing evolution CERO A CUATRO is changing its name to better adapt to the supply available at Feria Valencia and the product offer demanded by the trade professionals visiting the show. The INTERNATIONAL BABYCARE FAIR is the new name for the only platform in Spain bringing together both Spanish and international professionals. This unique event gives them a chance to showcase their new introductions in prams, strollers, travel cots, car seats, furniture and accessories for babies and toddlers, light baby products, textile products, layettes and toys for toddlers. The show banner in blue, a colour readily associated with the childcare sector, includes the rotating slogan Everything a baby needs in more than 14 different languages, thus further underscoring the fair`s international profile both in terms of supply and demand.

This event maintains its market position as a show where hi-tech advances sit comfortably alongside the latest trends in design and fashion. In this regard, the fair`s planning committee is working hard to promote a platform for businesses interested in introducing highly innovative products related with safety for babies both in cars and home, or baby products on wheels such as strollers, increasingly more easier to handle, lighter and, above all, more comfortable for carrying babies.

85% of exhibitors have already confirmed participation at the fair
85% of the exhibitors participating at the last edition of CERO A CUATRO are repeating again at the upcoming International Babycare Fair, scheduled for January 22nd to 24th at Feria Valencia. With many months still to go, this forecasts a resounding success and an increase in participating brands.

"Participating in CERO A CUATRO gives you a first-hand overview of the latest introductions from Europe`s leading brands and happening market trends" says Jose Vicente Fernández, director of the fair.

Over recent months the fair has implemented an intense promotional campaign aimed at showcasing a broader baby product offer.
