Welcome to CHRO 2013 The University of Aberdeen warmly welcome delegates and invited guests to the 17th International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Related Organisms. This conference returns to Europe for the first time in six years. The CHRO Conference 2013 will be the leading international conference, where cutting edge research meets medicine, industry and policy around the topics of this important group of organisms. This will be a unique opportunity to see the recent ground-breaking developments with these important pathogens at this pivotal time in our knowledge and understanding. The coming together of genomics, epidemiology and basic and systems biology with applied biology and health have underpinned the philosophy of this Conference leading to a number of Themes that thread their way through the proceedings: What have we learnt from 30 years of CHRO research? Which CHRO organisms will be of biggest global concern in 10 years time? How do we minimise the disease burden of CHRO? How will omics and systems biology transform CHRO research and understanding? The organising committee would like to thank all of our Sponsors both here in the UK and internationally for their generous support. Thanks also to our advisors at home and abroad, to the plenary speakers and the session chairs for their time and extensive expertise and advice. The organising committee would like to thank our Event Organisers CPD Services of University of Aberdeen, for their continual support and assistance. Welcome!

  • University of Aberdeen Gaelic Language Plan 2013-2018
    GAELI C LANGUAGE PLAN 201 3-2018 www.abdn.ac.uk/gaelicplan UniPrint University of Aberdeen 1 GAELIC LANGUAGE PLAN 2013-2018 This Plan has been prepared under Section 3 of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, and was approved by Bòrd na Gàidhlig on 5 March 2013. 2 FOREWORD As Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Aberdeen, I am delighted to provide the introduction to our first Gaelic Language Plan. The University of Aberdeen is committed to the aspirations and objectives included in the National Gaelic Language Plan and the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. Our Strategic Plan (2011-2015) spells out the University of Aberdeen’s ambition as both an international institution but also as an organisation embedded at the heart of its local community. To that end, we recognise that we have a considerable role to play through our academic leadership and civic influence in supporting the objectives set out in the National Gaelic Language Plan. The University of Aberdeen is one of five Universities in Scotland invited to compile a Gaelic Language Plan, reflecting our existing involvement in Gaelic language teaching. Our programmes include undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Gaelic, while in recent years we have pioneered a major new curriculum that gives all students the opportunity to undertake Sustained Study beyond their core discipline. This programme ensures that students enrol in courses which are not directly related to their core programme over the first two years of a degree, and Gaelic is one of the linguistic options available. We are also delighted to be one of only two universities in Scotland to offer primary and secondary teacher education provision in Gaelic through our Bachelor of Education (Honours) programme.
