Final Announcement of
KYOTO SATELLITE SYMPOSIUM
Date: March 30 (Sunday), 2003
Dear Colleagues,
'Lifestyle' is one of the most important keywords in medical and health sciences,
which has been found by many scientists from 18 Century, for examples, occupational cancer and
cigarette and alcoholic cancers. And, 'risk management' is new and important issue in medical
and health sciences in the present time. Lifestyle is a custom behavior, which is rapidly changing
by present globalization of economy and society, too. Herein, it is clear that the control of lifestyle
behavior is one of the most important tools in risk management for preventive medicine.
Thus, I confirm that the present topic of the Satellite Symposium of International Conference for Preventive Medicine
will promote risk management sciences
for occupational and environmental health around the world.
Kyoto, the most beautiful city in Japan, was a center there from the 7th Century to the 19th Century.
The Urban Planning was established in the 7th Century and you can find huge national treasures
since that time besides beautiful natural geography as we embedded in this homepage. On those accounts,
I completely agree with Prof. T. Shirakawa' s proposal to invite you to our Satellite Symposium
in the University of Kyoto, which has the most Nobel laureates in Japan. I promise that
you will have many chances to know the heart of Japan, which you have never seen in other places
in our planet. We shall think about new approach in risk management sciences for preventive medicine
in this beautiful place and season, toward our sustainable environment.
Sincerely, Prof. Ryoji Sakai (iarmm & JSRMPM Chairperson) November 25, 2002.
