Funding
Whilst each country will secure funding for hosting and travelling to the symposia, we seek additional financial and in-kind support to enable the attendance of early career researchers and future talent from all three countries. Allowing for an active participation of PhD and graduate research students in these events will be an investment into the next generation of regenerative medicine researchers and ensure the sustainability and progress of future scientific collaborations between Australia, Chile and Brazil.
Call for Sponsors
The Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute is pleased to bring you the 2017 ABC Symposium to be held on the 9th and 10th of October 2017 at Monash University, Clayton, Australia.
We would like to give our products and services vendors the opportunity to partner with us for this exciting and informative event. This is a unique opportunity for all those involved in the regenerative medicine and developmental biology sector to promote the worldwide advancement of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We offer our delegates an innovative program and stimulating clinical debates which will be led by a balance of international and national speakers and the opportunity for industry to contribute, not only by sponsorship, but by also taking part in the oral presentations representative of their field. As part of a comprehensive and effective marketing plan, sponsorship provides positive results and benefits to your brand and products – especially important in today’s economic climate.
- Exposure to a local, national and international audience of regenerative medicine decision makers and influential people involved with regenerative medicine and developmental biology.
- Opportunities to raise your company’s profile amongst a valuable target audience before, during and after this event.
- Recognition including acknowledgement and clear demonstration of your organisation’s involvement, commitment and support.
- Valuable insights, information and exposure to the latest developments in this field. Feel free to attend the scientific sessions.
