Subject: 02.09.08 Euro QSAR 2002: Designing Drugs and Crop Protectants - Bournemouth, UK

The Bournemouth International Centre is one of the most prestigious 
conference venues in the UK, regularly playing host to major political parties 
and international performing artists. We've chosen this purpose-built centre 
as the venue for the 14th European Symposium on Quantitative 
Structure-Activity Relationships 2002: Designing Drugs and 
Agrochemicals =96 Processes, Problems and Solutions.
The meeting will take place between Sunday 8th and Friday 13th September, 
2002. Further details can be found on the symposium website at ( www.euro-qsar.org ).

Robotics, information technology, microprocessor technology and 
miniaturisation are affecting the way biologically active compounds are 
discovered and designed. We're developing a scientific programme to focus 
on the impact of these new technologies. We will identify important problems 
remaining to be solved and review the roles that QSAR and Molecular 
Modelling can play in achieving this goal.

A strong scientific programme, internationally recognised speakers and 
chairmen, poster sessions and workshops, an industrial exhibition, and a 
memorable social programme:  we will create a culture of discussion that 
continues to thrive outside the lecture hall. Invited speakers include 
Graham Richards (Oxford), Tim Clark (Erlangen), Dave Weininger (Santa Fe), Gert 
Vriend () and Peter Willett (Sheffield). Peter Machin, Senior Vice President 
of GSK has agreed to present the opening lecture.
Your input will ensure that the focus of the meeting addresses your 
company's current and future industrial requirements. Please let us have
your thoughts and ideas on the programme content.
If you are employed by a commercial or industrial company, your support 
could be crucial to the success of this meeting. We have set a target of 
to raise through corporate sponsorship. The sponsorship fund will
be used to support the costs of invited speakers, chairmen, student bursaries, 
receptions, poster prizes and promotion. 
We would like to invite you to make a donation, either for sponsorship of
a specific event or publication, or for a contribution to the general fund. 
In return for a  donation, your company will receive excellent publicity and 
wide exposure, both on the website ( www.euro-qsar.org ) and throughout the 
meeting. All sponsors will be publicly acknowledged and named in the proceedings.
We hope you will feel able to make a generous contribution.
