As final year or
post graduate students interested in clinical pharmacology or other
aspects of the development of therapeutic products, I would like to
invite you to attend the 18th ARCS Annual Scientific Congress at Sydney
Convention and Exhibition Centre, from 1st – 3rd June 2009. This
Congress attracts over 1000 delegates to the 3-day scientific program,
and includes wonderful opportunities to meet and talk with our 60
Exhibitors who represent pharmaceutical companies, recruitment
companies and suppliers to our industry such as clinical laboratories,
consultants and contract research organisations. Do take a look at the
full Program and Online Registration information available on our
website at www.arcs.com.au under the Conference tab.
ARCS
Australia Ltd is the professional development association supporting
scientists working in a range of roles involved in the development of
new pharmaceutical, medical devices and biotechnology products in
Australia. This is a member organization dedicated to facilitating
ongoing training, professional development and networking opportunities
for members.
ARCS
has a Student Membership rate, and also offers a heavily discounted
rate for Student Members to attend Congress. You must be able to
identify via a Student card or similar that you are a full-time student
to be eligible for Student membership. Full details of member benefits,
events and training courses can be found on our website.
We are also offering students the opportunity to attend the Congress free of charge in return for assisting our staff on the Registration desks during the day.
To be eligible, students must be final year or post graduate students
enrolled full-time in a relevant course, or be enrolled part-time and
be employed in a therapeutics development capacity in a government or
academic institution.
We
will need approximately five assistants each day of Congress, to help
us before the sessions commence and in the lunch break. You will be
able to attend the scientific sessions of your choice, and visit the
Exhibition booths; however this invitation does not extend to social
functions. Please complete and fax back the Volunteer Application before May 8th 2009 if you would like to be considered for this offer.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to ARCS, and to Congress!
Yours sincerely,
Marisa Petersen PhD
Chief Executive Officer
