Conferences and Events

This is to bring to your notice that a system has been developed by Mr. Murad Ali Bana (Aga Khan University) to keep researchers/scientists informed of conferences / workshops / lectures that are being held world wide. It has e-mail addresses of doctors, trainees, residents, para-medical staff and pharmaceutical companies all across the world.

The objective of the group is to disseminate information as widely as possible. There are many Institutions/ hospitals where posters/brochures are not been placed. Professionals at these institutions may thus be informed by this Group.

This group was initiated and is managed by him in his free time as a public service to the Medical Community. Along with this,
Events Updates has now joined hands with PromotingResearch.com in further promoting the
cause.

Subject wise updates on events and conferences can now be accessed from the "Upcoming Conferences" section on our website.

New - PromotingResearch.com

http://www.promotingresearch.com/

The Idea and Purpose

Promotingresearch.com is a forum
for promoting research that is
good, original, useful and ethically
sound.

It would be a unique platform for
educating young
scientists/researchers
about
important aspects of research and how to
go about it.

Often people who are new to the field face
problems on how and where to begin with.
This forum would act as a catalyst in
providing useful reviews on topics
covering various aspects of research.

In addition, we are launching
two new
open access journals (10/90
Journal) and the (
10/90 Student
Journal). The articles would be made
available from the day they get accepted.
It would be unique in having an open-peer
review system, in which the various
registered users/fellow students would
provide reviews followed by an
evaluation by experts in the field.

It would feature compositions, artwork,
research work, research/elective
experiences and upcoming conferences.

We have also tried to present a collection
of recommended readings concerning
various important topics concerning
research and health related issues.

The best part is that all readers and
members would also be acting as useful
contributors through writing for the
journals, expressing their opinions
through letters, engaging in
discussions/blogs and even promoting
their own ongoing research/ideas and
collaborating with others.

We hope that you benefit from this
endeavor of ours.
Good Wishes,
The Editor.
