RETINA EUROPE YOUTH MEETING 2007

The Norwegian RP Association is the proud host of the Retina Europe
Youth (REY) meeting in 2007. The meeting will be held in Oslo 7-12th
August 2007.

THE PROGRAM:

The details of the program for this years meeting is still being
worked out, but some main subjects are ready. The meeting will
present the newest technical aids, news from the latest research,
psychological aspects of living with Retinitis Pigmentosa, and of
course lots of social activities.

The preliminary program can be found at the Norwegian RP-association
homepage (www.rpfn.no) and via http://groups.

Please check for updates and further information.

WHO CAN ATTEND?

This is a REY meeting, but it is open to all countries. We have room
for about 45 people, which means that each country can send 2-3
people.

The delegates should be between the age of 18-30, be members of their
national organisation and at least one should have the mandate to
speak on behalf of his/her organization at the Annual General Meeting
of REY (to be held during the program).

WHAT DOES IT COST?

At the REY meeting in Stockholm in 2005 it was decided that the cost
for each person could not be more then 300 Euro. At this moment we
are budgeting with a cost of 275 Euro per person. We are working on
finding sponsors, and are applying for funds, and hope to lower to
cost as much as possible.

The 275 Euro will cover accommodation, meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner)
and transportation in Oslo.

address will also be provided for anyone with questions.
