SATuRN Newsletter, Aug 2013: Special Edition - Training and Capacity Building


The concept behind this newsletter is that anyone with 15 minutes to spare can learn about the work of SATuRN. The newsletter is presented as a PDF document with links to complete articles at the bioafrica.net website.

In this second issue of 2013 our newsletter we focus on training and capacity building.

We want to let you know that we have finalized the organization of our annual meeting (8th Southern Africa HIV &TB Drug resistance Workshop, 20-22 Nov 2013, Bloemfontein, South Africa) and remind you that the deadline for applications is on 10 September 2013. Please do not forget to apply!
