13-14 September 2008 St Anne’s College, OX2 6HS, Oxford

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 14th Meeting of the Chinese Life Scientists Society in the UK (CLSS-UK). The scientific programme which has been drawn up is strong and varied. Our invited speakers are of international standing and come from a wide range of disciplines, reflecting the broad interests of our society. We anticipate that the science presented at the meeting will be enlightening, informative and stimulating for life scientists. We particularly encourage young investigators and Ph D students to join the meeting by offering young investigator awards, travel bursaries and prizes for the best oral and poster presentations. We will support young investigators via career development workshops and working experience networks.

Oxford University is the oldest university in the English-speaking world and is a unique and historic institution. Travelling to Oxford is easy and convenient via bus, rail networks and from airports. We hope that you will come and join us for what promises to be a stimulating and informative meeting of the CLSS-UK and we look forward to welcoming you in Oxford.
