The Association for Laboratory Automation has initiated a programme offering complementary registration to academic researchers who attend LabAutomation with at least two pre-registered students.
LabAutomation2009, the scientific conference and exhibition devoted exclusively to advancements in laboratory technologies, will be held on 24-28 January 2009 in Palm Springs, CA.
The ALA's offer has been made in response to the academic community's concerns over dwindling federal and private funding caused by the credit crisis and the inability to travel to recognised scientific conferences for continuing education and peer-to-peer collaboration.
Student registration for the five-day event is USD25 (GBP16).
