Start: 12 Oct 2009
 This worldwide conference will take place at the Maison de la Chimie in Paris on 12, 13 and 14 October 2009.
The meeting will be an opportunity for deans or directors of veterinary training institutions and key national veterinary education policy makers from all over the world to exchange views on priorities for the content of academic courses, the main purpose being to reach consensus in order to recommend an updated veterinary curriculum to the international community.
This should ensure that future graduates are increasingly able to work in an international environment, applying international standards for disease surveillance, veterinary public health, food safety and animal welfare. The conference will also provide a forum for discussing the involvement of national veterinary statutory bodies in the harmonisation of accreditation procedures for veterinary faculties, which would help foster recognition of the importance of veterinary activities for society as a whole at global level.

The World Health Summit will be the forum to bring together an international array of eminent researchers, physicians, and representatives of government, industry, and health care systems. What is today common in other sectors such as the economy and in the field of technology is lacking for medical practice, research, and health care systems. As a global forum, the World Health Summit will address those health related issues which challenge us as physicians, scientists, political leaders and those employed in the health care industry. We need cogent and timely responses to the urgent questions arising from world-wide demographic trends, the financing of medical progress and innovation, the understanding of the potentials of medical research and health economy, and to emerging medical issues. Among these are health-related consequences of climate change.

Achieving Food Security in Times of Crisis
Source:
 At a time when the global economic crisis dominates the news, the world needs to be reminded that not everyone works in offices and factories. The crisis is stalking the small-scale farms and rural areas of the world, where 70 percent of the world's hungry live and work.
With an estimated increase of 105 million hungry people in 2009, there are now 1.02 billion malnourished people in the world, meaning that almost one sixth of all humanity is suffering from hunger.
Both public and private investments are needed, more specifically through targeted public investment to encourage and facilitate private investment, especially by farmers themselves.
On the occasion of World Food Week and World Food Day 2009, let us reflect on those numbers and the human suffering behind them. Crisis or no crisis, we have the know-how to do something about hunger. We also have the ability to find money to solve problems when we consider them important. Let us work together to make sure hunger is recognized as a critical problem, and solve it. The World Summit on Food Security proposed by FAO for November 2009 could be fundamental for eradicating hunger.
