Congress of the Spanish Society of Parasitology (SOCEPA)

For the first time, our University will host the bi-annual Congress of the Spanish Society of Parasitology (SOCEPA), which will be held at Madrid Campus, on 5 July, and at the Montepríncipe Campus from 6 to 8 July 2022.

We are looking forward to organising this first post-pandemic face-to-face meeting of the Spanish Society of Parasitology, which represents an important meeting point for Spanish parasitologists accompanied by international researchers from other universities, hospitals, research centres and biotechnology companies such as GSK and Boehringer Ingelheim.

In this edition, we will have grants awarded by the Vice-Rectorate for Research of the USP-CEU to give our undergraduate, master's and doctoral students the opportunity to present their first research and to enjoy a high-level educational and scientific environment.

We hope that this event will be enriching and that it will not only provide an update on different aspects of parasitology, but also encourage new collaborations and relationships between the different research groups and areas of knowledge.

We are waiting for you.

Dear participants,

This year, the School of Pharmacy of Universidad CEU San Pablo is pleased to host in its premises the celebration of the XXIV Meeting of Pharmacologists of the Community of Madrid, which will take place at the Montepríncipe Campus on 2 July 2015.

It is an honour for us to be able to participate in the organisation of this event which year after year manages to create a space for communication between young researchers and those with more experience in the area of Pharmacology from all the Universities, hospitals, research centres and pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies in the Community of Madrid.

Montepríncipe Campus is home to both the School of Pharmacy and the School of Medicine and therefore, in addition to providing the necessary facilities to ensure the success of the event, aims to welcome participants in an environment of research and teaching in the field of Health Sciences, which we hope will stimulate participation and above all the establishment of professional relationships and future fruitful collaborations.

For all these reasons, we invite you to participate in this Meeting. We look forward to seeing you.

Pascual-Teresa Fernández, Beatriz de

Dean of The School of Pharmacy

Ms. Beatriz Pascual-Teresa Fernández

Dear collegues,

For 23 years now, the pharmacologists of Madrid have been meeting every year for a scientific conference, which we owe to the dedicated efforts of a handful of colleagues, among whom I would like to highlight the leading figure of Professor Antonio García. We already had the honour of organising the 6th conference at Universidad CEU San Pablo in 1997, when just four of us, including professors and fellows from the Pharmacology area, had arrived here. We repeat now, being many more, but with the same enthusiasm for good Science. We hope that on 2 July we will all together build a productive and pleasant day that will be another step forward in the progress of regional pharmacology. Welcome!

Courses

INTERNATIONAL KINANTHROPOMETRY CERTIFICATION COURSE - ISAK LEVEL I

Kineanthropometry is the area of science concerned with the measurement of human body composition. Changes in lifestyles, nutrition, physical activity levels and ethnic composition of populations lead to changes in body dimensions. By measuring the human body and determining its capacity for function and movement in a wide range of areas, kinanthropometry is the link between anatomy and movement.

Course aimed at:

Students and Professionals in: Human Nutrition and Dietetics; Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, Medicine, Phisiotherapy, Nuirsing; Anthropology, Ergonomics, etc.

Objectives

  • To know the history, evolution, and development of kinanthropometry at national and international level.
  • To know the different applications of kinanthropometry.
  • To master the technique of measuring the different anthropometric variables with the restricted profile (level 1).
  • To train anthropometrists who work with quality, precision and in a standardised manner.

Content

  • Theoretical
    • History of ISAK. ISAK International Accreditation Scheme.
    • Body's composition.
    • Proxemia and Ethics.
    • Instruments: handling and calibration of the equipment.
    • Anthropometric points restricted profile (level 1)
    • Take anthropometric measurements of the restricted profile (level 1)
    • Technical measurement error.
  • Practical
    • Handling of anthropometric equipment (skinfold caliper, anthropometric tape and pachymeter).
    • Marking of anthropometric reference points of the restricted profile. 
    • Methodology for taking measurements. 

Evaluation

At the end of the course, candidates must pass a practical and theoretical exam, where they demonstrate their level of knowledge, precision and accuracy.

Upon completion of the course, candidates must complete 20 anthropometric profiles (measuring 20 people) and submit the results to the course director within 4 months of completing the course. If the accuracy is satisfactory, they will be awarded ISAK Certification, valid for 4 years and 4 months.

Requirements for ISAK certification

  • 100% attendance at the course.
  • Pass with a minimum grade of 80 % in the two theoretical and practical exams to be held on the last day of the course. The results of this assessment will be given on the day of the exam.
  • Complete the measurement of 20 complete anthropometric profiles within the established deadlines (level 1: 4 months; level 2: 6 months) from the end of the course.
