Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

In the April-Issue of our newsletter we presented to you the first three of a series of language tips developed by Communication for Professionals. The launch of the language tips was a big success – thank you for your great interest and positive feedback!

This month, we will discuss the role of non-verbal behaviour in different cultures – you can fnd the new tips in the section jobs & career offers.

The courses and congresses cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from a Master in Health Economics and Policy in Spain to a summer school on Infectious Diseases in Germany, a congress on pathology in the UK and a congress on neuropsychopharmacology in Canada.

In the special section you will find the first programme announcement of the European Health Forum Gastein 2014.

For those interested in a new job or a training position we recommend to take a look at our monthly job newsletter or the job offers on the GOING INTERNATIONAL website.
