Message from the President
May, 2005

Dear LATS colleagues

We are contacting you again to bring some important informations about our Society and the coming 13th International Thyroid Congress (13th ITC), to be held in Buenos Aires, from October 30th to November 4th. 

We are happy to communicate that our Society is growing fast. A number of new member proposals from diverse LA countries, will be presented at the LATS Assembly, during the 13th ITC.

The interest of the LATS Community in the Meeting can be evaluated by the fact that all 500 special rate registrations (PPEP – Preferential Plan for Early Payment) were made shortly after March 1st when this plan was first offered.

The 13th ITC promises to be a very successful Meeting. We invite all members, to visit our site www.lats.org and the Congress 13th INTERNATIONAL THYROID CONGRESS.

Please remember a very important point: the deadline to submit your abstracts for presentation at the 13th ITC is June, 1st, 2005.

The LATS offers travel-grants for young members of the Society who present their data at the 13th ITC. We expect to offer al least 50 travel grants (USD 300.00 each travel grant).

The applicant for a travel grant must be:

  • member of LATS;
  • younger than 40 years;
  • presenting a work, as its first author.
  • The work presented must have been done totally in Latin America.
The same conditions are applicable for the Young Investigator Prize, Basic and Clinical, with an award of USD 1.000,00.

Do not forget to send your abstract in time!

We are hoping to have a great number of you as active members during the 13th ITC.

Very best wishes, and see you in Buenos Aires.
