IYPE Regional Meeting (17:30 – 19:30, 8 June 2009)The purpose of the IYPE Regional Meeting is to showcase the achievements and success of IYPE in the East and SoutheastAsia region by IYPE National Committees, particularly in bringing greater awareness to the general public of the contributionof Geoscience in helping to build a safer, healthier and wealthier society. The way forward after the close of IYPE in 2009,including the individual country and the region’s support for any proposed future initiative to sustain the impact of IYPE willalso be discussed. A Meeting of the region’s National IYPE Committees chaired by the Executive Director of IYPE Corporation,Dr Ed de Mulder will also be held. The respective National Committee may wish to consider this side event of IYPE RegionalMeeting as one of its contributions in support of the successful closing of IYPE. Representatives of the region’s National IYPECommittees will be invited to attend. All participants of GEOSEA 2009 are also welcomed.Convenors: Dr Ed de Mulder: Executive Director, IYPE Corporation &Chen Shick Pei: CCOP IYPE Coordinator, Honorary Adviser, CCOPFinal Circular.indd 44/2/2009 3:35:07 PM
