13-14 March 2010, Berlin Germany

The first Pan-European Workshop on Thalassaemia was held with great success in November 2007 in Lisbon, Portugal. The event attracted 150 patients and medical professionals from 13 countries of the European Union.

Building on this success, the 2nd Pan-European Conference aims to further strengthen the national and regional support networks for thalassaemia patients in Europe, and increase awareness among European medical professionals and national health authorities of the disorder, its proper management and prevention.

TIF is busy planning the Conference, which will take place on 13-14 March 2010.

Sponsorship opportunities for patients

In order to enable as many patients as possible to attend this important event, TIF will offer a limited number of financial travel grants to patients/parents from each country to help them make the journey. It would be helpful for TIF to have advance numbers of interested individuals in order to obtain the most possible funding.

Anyone who would like to be considered for sponsorship should contact TIF at the following address. Please let us know if you are:

(a) a patient
(b) a parent

And let us have your full contact details (address, e-mail, telephone/fax).
