This advanced and interactive course aims to give you a solid grounding in the knowledge and skills that are required to work as a nutritional epidemiologist. Participants are expected to have postgraduate level experience (MSC or PHD) in epidemiology.
The course will consist of lectures, computer tutorials, debates and discussions with experts and a small group assignment, with particular focus on current controversies in the field.
We will place strong emphasis on assessment of exposure (to include diet, body size, and physical activity), methodological considerations in study design, and pertinent statistical issues, including how best to address measurement error and adjust for total energy intake.
You will learn to critically interpret results from nutritional epidemiological studies and evaluate the association between a given nutritional factor and disease. Current priorities in nutritional epidemiology, its future potential and challenges will be discussed. We will also address the translation of scientific findings into nutritional recommendations and policies.
Some of the themes and issues you learn about will be further explored in the subsequent World Cancer Research Fund International (WCRF International) 2-day conference, covering both the science and policy aspects of nutrition, physical activity and cancer prevention.

Restructuring the collateral management process to optimise agreements, haircuts and reconciliation
Collateral
management is a rapidly growing and
increasingly crucial area. Collateral is very much in demand and new
entities
are getting involved in the process. There are questions hanging over
the
growing field of triparty collateral
management
involving the outsourcing of collateral movements and administrative
aspects.
Similarly the role of central counterparty clearing is set to have a
massive
impact in the industry. Another movement within collateral management is
the
growing attention to controlling operational risk, manifested, at least
in
part, by automation. Yet how are all of these innovations and issues
linked
back to the central purpose of collateral management: risk mitigation?
For this 11th
annual marcus evans conference we both pick up
on the changes to the collateral landscape as well as return to the
great
debates within the field to offer practical solutions for meeting these
challenges. Focusing on areas such as optimisation and automation as
well as
looking at key issues like CCPs and the
dispute
resolution protocol, we provide an important forum for industry
professional s
to discuss the issues which matter most at the current time, thereby
providing
valuable insight into possible solutions.
This two and a
half day event includes an exclusive
half day interactive training session looking in detail at ISDA ®
documentation.
