Venue: Basel
Registration by 19 March, 2010
This year’s Spring symposium will focus on Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health.

Invited speakers and experts from international organisations, partner countries and the Swiss TPH will present and discuss the Sexual and Reproductive Health issues facing youth today around the world. To bridge the gap between the realities in a European context and those in resource limited countries of the South and the Middle East, similarities will be explored and context specific aspects will be addressed.
