Dear Colleagues,
This is a quick reminder for those who have not yet registered for the
“Workshop for EU tobacco control laboratories”.
The draft agenda can be found in the appendix. The draft agenda will be
completed by the end of the month.
Please register as soon as possible, as we can only maintain pre-booked
hotel rooms for a limited period.
You may forward this email within your organization to interested
colleagues. Registration is required both for in-person and virtual
participation.
With kind regards
Thomas Wenzl

Subject: FW: Registration for "Workshop for EU tobacco control laboratories"
Dear Colleagues,
The registration for the “Workshop for EU tobacco control laboratories” is
open.
The workshop will take place on 14 and 15 October at the JRC in Geel,
Belgium.
The draft agenda is attached to this email and can also be retrieved from
the registration page.
One session is reserved for contributions from the Member States. Again, I
would like to ask official tobacco control laboratories to inform me about
research/experiences, which they would like to share (present) with the
other participants.
Here is the link to the registration form:
<https://web.jrc.ec.europa.eu/remjrc/screen/meeting/17134/registration-form>
https://web.jrc.ec.europa.eu/remjrc/screen/meeting/17134/registration-form
The workshop will be organized as a hybrid event. However, in-person
participation is preferred.
Travel and accommodation expenses will be reimbursed for one participant per
Member State in accordance with the Commission's applicable rules.
In addition, travel and accommodation expenses for speakers contributing to
the scientific program will be reimbursed.
Travel details may be provided at a later date. However, we ask all
participants to communicate their accommodation requirements as soon as
possible to arrange hotel room reservations.
We will organize a joint dinner on 14 October. Participants in the dinner
will be requested at a later date to indicate dietary preferences.
If you are unable to attend in person, or if additional people from your
organization would like to follow the workshop online, it is still necessary
to register for online participation. Please note that you must indicate
online participation in both the first and third step of registration
(“Organisation data”). Of course, you do not have to provide any information
about accommodation and travel there, but you must select “Online”
participation again at the bottom of the page to continue with the
registration.
Registered participants who are eligible to participate in the workshop will
receive their login details shortly before the workshop.
Finally, if your area of responsibility within your organization has
changed, I would like to ask you to forward this email to the person
responsible for tobacco products.
With kind regards
Thomas Wenzl
