MCNF - MediConf: Medical Conferences & Events (ceased updating 2004)





Content



Conferences and exhibitions in medicine, biotechnology and
pharmacology.

MediConf offers comprehensive listings of conferences and
exhibitions in the fields of medicine, biotechnology and
pharmacology. All medical specialities ranging from allergy to
zoonosis are included and the geographical coverage of the database
is worldwide.

If you need to monitor medically-related events then MediConf is for
you.

You can identify an event by its name, venue, date, geographical
area and name of agent or organiser. Use MediConf to answer
questions like:

- what meetings in the field of neuropharmacology are scheduled
already over the next 3 years?
- who organises medical technology exhibitions in Japan?
- what are the locations for seminars on regulating
pharmacovigilance in the EU?
- where could I present my new antirheumatic drug to an audience of
professionals?
- where and when will Brazilian cardiologists gather this year?
- any seminars on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methodology?
- I would like names and programme details of the industrial
sponsors of the 10th European Congress of Anaesthesiology. I want
all the information available faxed to me free of charge
immediately after my search.

Sources:
Over 10,000 announcements of future meetings are available in the
database. The input is obtained by direct contact with over 3,000
conference organisers.

Notes on MCNF


CN - Country/region names and codes:
The CN codes are the same as those used in the Predicasts databases
and they are hierarchical. For example, to retrieve entries covering
all of Europe, type:

1_: C4

If a specific country is required, type its full code:

2_: C4GER

Names of countries or regions are listed in English, German and
French and may be searched in either of the languages.

DT - Date of event:
It is always advisable to search for a date in MCNF. See Quick codes
and Limit lists. Please note that you must enter e.g.: 1996 when
specifying a year; this ensures correct retrieval of events before
and after the year 2000.

PC - Subject codes (and matching terms):
Subject codes describe the main topic of the event. The terms are
listed and may be searched in English, French or German.
