The Third Invitation Letter

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the TEMA Parent Committee and the TEMA14 Organization Committee, we are pleased to welcome you to the 14th International Symposium on Trace Elements in Man and Animals, September 19-24, 2011, Enshi, Hubei, China.

The theme for the symposium is: Meeting in Se-Enriched Enshi, Exploring Trace Elements: Science, Innovation, & Application. We have received approximately 250 abstracts from active researchers of 30 countries. The scientific program has been devised with a pre-Conference Se Forum, 3 Sunrise/Breakfast Lessons, 5 Plenary Sessions, 16 Symposia, and 2 Poster Sessions. The breadth and depth of the scientific program highlights current progress of trace element research and application, and will hopefully enable each delegate to exchange with colleagues in the field of his/her best interest.

The social program has also been drafted that includes a welcome reception, a full-day trip, a banquet, and a performance show of folk song and local dance. These activities are designed to create opportunities for maximal personal interaction network with peers around the world.

We cordially invite you to start preparations of your presentation and travel to Enshi. If you have not completed registration and hotel reservation, please do so soon. Please inform the TEMA14 office of your arrival time so we can arrange local transportation for you. If you need any help for visa application or transfer from Wuhan to Enshi or Yichang to Enshi, please do not hesitate to contact the office. We will try our best to make your TEMA14 one of the most exciting, stimulating, and rewarding conferences.

Sincerely,
