The purpose of this consultation on the program for the PHA3 is to ensure that the program reflects the priorities and concerns of country circles, networks and others associated with the PHM. When sending alternate suggestions for the themes and sub-themes, please do add a few lines motivation regarding why you think your suggestions will add value to the program.
Please feel free to submit names for plenary and sub plenary speakers. The programme committee will review all proposals and make sure it is balanced. Please note they will not be able to consider all requests and suggestions.
We especially encourage organisations from Africa to submit proposals to ensure the PHA3 to reflect the African situation.

However after 31st of March 2012, it will no longer be possible to apply for sponsorship to attend the PHA3. Unfortunately, the number of scholarships we can provide is very low as the financial environment has made fundraising extremely difficult. We therefore encourage everybody to secure additional or partial funding to attend and recommend approaching your organisation or academic institution to sponsor you.
