To Friends
Another year is coming to an end and this message conveys my warmest
greetings to you for the forthcoming holiday seasons.
As you know I become chairman of IOBB (Intl Org for Biotechnology and
Bioengineering) early this year and some of its achievements are:
(a) registration of IOBB's domain name, created its website and
contents, installed a webforum software and extensive use of LISTSERV
email lists. http://www.iobbnet.org
(b) IOBB has an organizational structure of 45 national representatives
(http://www.iobbnet.org/org.html) and 3 working groups
(c) organized seven e-seminars
I wish to thank all of you who helped make these happen and possible,
and for your participation in IOBB activities.
Next year you can expect
(a) a better IOBB website pages
(b) more e-seminars (http://www.iobbnet.org/activities.html)
(c) IOBB is planning two major activities
(i) the Internet Conference on Biotechnology and Bioengineering
in Africa (ICBB-Africa)
http://segate.sunet.se/archives/et-zeus.html
(ii) IOBB at the International Convention on Cities of the Future
http://segate.sunet.se/archives/et-w18.html
Join IOBB:::::
To be informed of e-seminars, remember to join
http://segate.sunet.se/archives/et-w5.html
I like to encourage all Africans to join the planning of ICBB-Africa at
http://segate.sunet.se/archives/et-zeus.html . To participate in
e-seminars and Internet conferences, you need to become an IOBB member.
This will also give you full permissions to use the IOBB webforum
(www.iobbnet.org/drupal). More info on how to become a member is
available at http://www.iobbnet.org/member.html. Your annual membership
fee is very low. It is equivalent to 0,5 % of a month's income after
tax. That is to say that if you make 2000 Euros a month, then your
membership fee is just 10 Euros. Please find membership form at
http://www.iobbnet.org/member.html#form
A personal note:
I am available to take up a short-term contract or be a visiting fellow
at your institute from Jan-April 2005 (or a longer term job). If you
have any ideas, please do not hesitate to contact me. (find CV at
