Call for Abstracts: International TB and HIV conference
------------------------------------------------------

6-8 November 2006
Stellenbosch, South Africa

An international TB and HIV conference will take place on 6-8 November 2006 in Stellenbosch, South Africa. This event is organized by the Ghent University (Belgium), in collaboration with the South African Centre for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (SACEMA), the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) and the University of the Western Cape. Confirmed keynote speakers include Brian Williams (World Health Organization), Richard White (LSHTM), Francois Venter (Wits), Carolyn Williamson (UCT), Leigh Johnson (UCT) and Lieven Annemans (Ugent).

The goal of this conference is to bring together epidemiologists, mathematicians, clinicians and social scientists to discuss prevention and treatment of TB and HIV; hence the conference theme "Bridging the gap between modelling and reality - the added value of interdisciplinary collaboration in the fight against TB and HIV".

The deadline for abstract submission is 15 September.

The scientific programme and registration forms for the TB and HIV modeling conference in Stellenbosch are available on http://www.tbandhivmodelling.org Grant application forms for travel grants, accommodation grants and/or conference fee waivers are also to be found on the website.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Stellenbosch. On behalf of the conference organization.
