ICO-WHO: Next Tobacco Control Seminars

We are glad to announce the new Tobacco Control Seminars, organized by the Tobacco Control Unit/ WHO Collaborating Center on Tobacco Control.

These Seminars will try to introduce challenging topics and on-going research on tobacco control by national and international experts in a friendly environment. The Seminars are open to professionals and students in the wide field of tobacco control and need no previous registration –although an email to sensefum@iconcologia.net is always welcome 🙂

The Seminars will take place according to availability of speakers, from Barcelona and surroundings and, in the case of international speakers, subject to casual proximity and opportunity (i.e., attending other meetings, holidays, …) since no specific funding is allocated to this activity!

And our two first presenters come from Australia, and have accepted to have a break in their holidays to share with us their knowledge!
