2017 UILI LabmeetIng

Dear friends of laboratory industry,

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to attend the ‘2017 UILI LABMEETING – 27th General Assembly, Governing Board and Working Group Meetings’ that the International Union of Independent Laboratories (UILI) will organize on August 23, 24 and 25, 2017 in Bogota, Colombia.

Our event will be hosted by ASOCOLAB, the Asociación Colombiana de Laboratorios and will accommodate the annual meeting of the IAAC.

Our ‘2017 UILI LABMEETING’ should be seen as an initiative to raise awareness for the importance of the laboratory industry societal level. From this perspective, it also forecasts composite talks: many social and economic aspects of laboratory testing do pass in review by prominent speakers from around the globe. I refer to the website of UILI (www.uili.org). There you can find all information and documentation concerning the activities.

UILI members, I would like to welcome to our 27th General Assembly. I express the expectation that the ‘2017 UILI LABMEETING’ will give a valuable contribution to the image and authority of the laboratory industry in Colombia.

Yours sincerely,

UILI - Union Internationale des Laboratoires Indépendants

On behalf of the Governing Board,

Drs L.H.A. Scholtis14th UILI President

UILI LabmeetIng weLcomes

estabLIshed In 1960 as an InternatIonaL assocIatIon oF Independent LaboratorIes and scIentIFIc consULtants

ABOUT UILIThe Union Internationale des Laboratoires Indépendants is the worldwide organisation for independent testing and calibration laboratories and for independent consultancy organisations.

Besides receiving regular information on developments of interest to members, their interests are represented at international forums such as ILAC, ISO and UNIDO.

The Union Internationale des Laboratoires Indépendants was registered in France in 1961 as an international association of independent laboratories and consultants. UILI operates under the terms of its Constitution adopted, under its current form, by the 26th General Assembly held in Buenos Aires on September 17, 2015.

A Governing Board, elected by the Ordinary Members through their Member Associations, exercises policy control over all UILI activities. Independent Laboratories and consultants may enjoy membership of UILI either through membership of a Member Association, itself being recognised by UILI, or by individual non-affiliated ordinary membership.

The Constitution permits ordinary membership within a country that has a recognised Member Association. In addition, to accommodate the breadth of scientific disciplines that seek membership of UILI, the constitution permits more than one Member Association per country.
