Young Investigators
Meeting
One of the
aims of PReS is to stimulate research in the field
of Paediatric Rheumatology. One way of doing this is
to enable young investigators to increase their
skills in reputable laboratories and clinical
research groups in Europe and to provide a platform
for the exchange of their experiences. In 2000 PReS
founded the annual young investigators research
awards, which will be given out each year to authors
of the winning abstracts for the scientific
pre-conference for young investigators, voted by the
assembled audience.
The 2008 Young Investigators meeting
will be held from 9.00 hrs - 17.00 hrs on Saturday 13th September at the
Institute of Child Health.
