Welcome Message KR2012
Dear Colleagues,
This month, we celebrate the 120th anniversary of the 1st Institut Pasteur overseas, located in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). Many other institutes followed in the same international spirit characterizing the Institut Pasteur since 1887. Pasteur's desire was for progress in health care to be shared by all, as quickly as possible, and to benefit people affected by diseases no matter where they live. For over 120 years the Institut Pasteur has accomplished its triple mission in public health, teaching and research, and has built a network of more than 30 institutions on the 5 continents. Driven by a sense of ethics and the respect for Pasteurian values, each of these institutions is focused on diseases that affect the country and region where it is located. The Institut Pasteur international network is unique in its geographical presence but also in the diversity of its activities, going from research to diagnosis and vaccination. The friendship binding the different institutes and their members, adds extraordinary wealth to our network and its partnerships. We have also formed close ties with major international partners. In the recent years, we have been pleased to note a growing interest from members for thematic multicenter programs combining clinical research and basic research. We have developed network’s scientific meetings, facilitated regional meetings and decided to create a Network Association. The main objective of this Pasteur International Network Association is to facilitate the development of scientific projects involving several members of the network and other partners. It is expected to increase the available means, broaden projects opportunities, and provide its members with even greater international visibility, for everyone’s benefit.
This is the first Scientific International Meeting of the Young researchers from Institut Pasteur International Network entitled “Challenges in global health: opportunities for Institut Pasteur International Network”. We would like to welcome you warmly and wish you a very successful meeting and exciting scientific exchanges. We look forward to seeing you at the symposium!
Prof Alice DAUTRY, President of Institut Pasteur
Dr Jérôme SALOMON, Head of International Division, for the Scientific Committee
