Optional Post CGCM Meeting tour to The University of Cambridge, Brunel University and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (28 -29 August 2009)

To celebrate the 800th anniversary of the University of Cambridge, as well as marking the bicentenary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species, we would like to invite you to a half-day forum 'Traditional Chinese Medicine in Tomorrow's World' in Cambridge on 28 August.

This forum will consist of selected presentations on key topics on Chinese and conventional medicine by a panel of eminent scientists and entrepreneurs, aiming to converge on lively discussions about how to translate the Chinese art of healing to novel therapeutics in tomorrow’s world. The forum will be followed by a brief tour of this historic university city, a drinks reception and official dinner on the magnificent grounds of King's College Cambridge.

On 29 August, there will be a visit to Brunel Institute for Bioengineering to see its array of scalable technology for the extraction of pharmaceuticals in action. After lunch, there will be a visit to Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in celebration of their 250th anniversary, consisting a tour of the gardens as well as a behind-the-scenes look at their research facilities and their unique Economic Botany Collections including the collections of traditional Chinese medicines.

En-suite accommodation for two nights (28-29 August, 2009; £40 per night with breakfast) has been arranged on the Brunel campus, which is close to London Heathrow Airport. These optional activities will be offered to a maximum of 100 delegates, on a first-come-first-serve basis. The provisional all in cost is £150 per delegate.
