International scientific conference of trace elements

描述（由申请人提供）：国际人体微量元素研究学会（ISTERH）、希腊微量元素学会（HTES）和北欧微量元素学会（NTES）将首次将他们定期举行的单独会议结合起来，创建一个联合会议，以促进微量元素营养各方面的科学交流。本次“饮食、营养和健康中的微量元素：重要性和毒性”会议的目标是传播新的研究成果，鼓励科学家跨国界合作。会议将于2007年10月21日至26日在希腊克里特岛举行。新的研究成果和信息将通过12场专题讨论会（其中4场为全体会议）、3场海报展示和10场口头小型专题讨论会进行交流。43位受邀演讲者将介绍最近的研究概况。口头小型专题讨论会和海报会议将从研究者提交的摘要中选择。所有报告之后将进行公开讨论。这次会议将有助于提高对饮食、营养和健康中的微量元素的认识。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Society for Trace Element Research in Humans (ISTERH), the Hellenic Trace Element Society (HTES) and the Nordic Trace Element Society (NTES) will combine their regularly scheduled individual meetings for the first time to create a joint conference to foster scientific exchange on all aspects of trace element nutrition. The objectives of this conference on Trace Elements in Diet, Nutrition and Health: Essentiality and Toxicity are to disseminate findings of new research and encourage collaboration of scientists across international boundaries. The meeting will be located in Crete, Greece on October 21-26, 2007. New research findings and information will be exchanged through 12 symposia (four of which are plenary sessions), 3 poster presentations, and 10 oral minisymposia. Forty-three invited speakers will present overviews of recent research. Oral minisymposia and poster sessions will be selected from investigator-submitted abstracts. All presentations will be followed by open discussion. This conference will help advance knowledge of trace elements in diet, nutrition and health.
