COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The 4th International Conference on Urban Health is proud to announce that
we will be showcasing community-based participatory urban health research
through a special conference stream. This year's conference theme is
Achieving Social Justice in Urban Communities and we believe that goal can
only be achieved if community partners are in attendance.
We have also created a special registration fee for community partners (that
includes pre-conference workshops) and have made some additional
scholarships available for those traveling from a great distance. Our goal
is to ensure that at least 150 of the attendees this year represent the
communities that our research is focused on. More information on workshops,
fees, and scholarships is available online at
http://www.crich.ca/isuhconference2005/
For ongoing updates and news regarding the Conference, and for more
information on how community members can become actively involved in the
conference by submitting proposals for workshops, panel discussions, and
research abstracts, please visit the Conference website at
