The future of HINARI now secured
A wide-ranging independent review of HINARI was recently conducted and many thanks if you participated in this. The review showed that HINARI is viewed as an important resource and is making a valuable contribution to research and teaching. As a result of this review, the partners agreed that HINARI, and its sister programmes AGORA and OARE, should be continued at least to meet the time scale of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals. We are delighted to report that this means that the programmes will continue at least until 2015.
The review also made several other key recommendations which we will be following up on and working to improve. These included the need for improved authentication processes which would make it easier for users to access the resources available, the need for increased training and promotion, and a more formal organization structure. More information on these planned developments will follow. (The HINARI Team)

FELLOWSHIPS
We are pleased to inform you that more than 20 fellowships will be awarded to undergraduate students for the Summer Research Program 2007-School of Life Sciences at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Students in their second or third year of studies in the life sciences, including related engineering fields are invited to apply. The deadline for submitting applications is March 19, 2007. Expanding from its initial foundations in neuroscience and biotechnology, EPFL's School of Life Sciences has now matured into four distinct institutes - the Brain Mind Institute, the Biotechnology Institute, the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research and the Global Health Institute. In all areas we emphasize integrated approaches spanning a range of disciplines from functional genomics to high-tech bioengineering. We would very much appreciate it if you could share this information with students in your school/institute. I have also included a short summary of the summer program below. Detailed information and flyer are available at:

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FIELD
HINARI training course for medical librarians, health personnel and researchers in Vientiane, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, 24 - 26 April 2007
A national HINARI training course for medical librarians, health personnel and researchers was held in Vientiane, Lao People’s Democratic Republic on 24 - 26 April 2007. This was co-hosted by the National Institute of Public Health and financially-supported partly by the WHO Representative Office in Laos and the HINARI Trust Fund. Twenty five senior-level professionals participated in the training which was publicized in the daily newspaper, Vientiane Times, and on television. The participants showed their great interest in learning new techniques on the efficient search and retrieval of relevant and updated health information from various electronic resources.
HINARI national workshop in Malé (Maldives)
A national HINARI workshop for medical librarians, health personnel and researchers was conducted in Malé, Maldives, on 8-12 April 2007 under the auspices of the World Health Organization Country Office for Maldives. The participants were all eager to discover the broad array of relevant and timely health information available in HINARI. The workshop included site visits to the participating institutions to confirm and correct any access issues. The participants were particularly encouraged to share knowledge and skills with their colleagues and other researchers.
