Dear Colleagues,

SCHOLARLY OUTPUTS IN HEALTH SCIENCES: PUBLICATION PROCESS AND OPEN ACCESS
First NECOBELAC training course for trainers to foster collaboration between
Europe and LAC.
Sao Paolo (Brasil),  13-15 April, 2010

NECOBELAC is pleased to announce the first of a series of training courses
on Open Access, to be held in Sao Paolo in April.

NECOBELAC is working to support scientific writing and the growth of Open
Access to Health Care information, as a collaboration between Europe and
Latin American Caribbean countries. As part of this work, NECOBELAC is
offering training courses for trainers - designed to introduce developments
in the field to trainers who can spread the information through their own
courses in their own countries, communities and institutions.

The first of these three-day courses is being held in Sao Paulo on April
13-15 April, 2010

Attendance at this three day course is free, with attendees only having to
pay their own travel and accomodation costs. There are 30 places on offer,
which will be given to the first applicants that contact us.  In case of
over-subscription, institutions or agencies may be limited to two attendees
only.

The language of the course will be Spanish and Portugese. For this first
event, applications are prioritised from trainers from the following
countries:  Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay and Uruguay, although applicants
from other LAC countries can apply. There will be further events to cover
all other LAC countries in the future.

To apply, please contact necobelac.saopaulo at bireme.org
If a phone number is required, this is:  55 11 5576-9872

**  Deadline for application is February 28  -  Acceptance will be
communicated by March 7  **

Please state your name, role, institution/agency and confirm that you intend
to cascade the course information onwards in support of scientific writing
and the growth of Open Access to Health Care information.

See the Necobelac website for objectives, programme and other details of the
course: http://www.necobelac.eu/en/newsevents.php

Note that the course is designed as the start of a cascade process for
trainers - not for academic researchers or end users. Attendants will
receive a Certificate allowing them to replicate NECOBELAC training at local
level.

Please feel free to circulate this invitation.
