Dear colleagues!

At the days of difficult economic and financial situation all over the world we are glad to inform you that the Fourth International Seabuckthorn Association Conference will take place in Belokuriha at Altai according to the previous decisions. Russia has been chosen as host of ISA 2009 and it is a great honor and responsibility for us. We are glad to invite the world-known experts involved in cultivation, processing and pharmacology researches, as well as companies engaged in SBT business. We would like to remind to everyone the previous meetings in Berlin, Beijing and Quebec which have shown us a superb organization and wide interest to seabuckthorn from many countries of Europe, Asia and America.

Altai territory was not casually chosen as a place of the next meeting. This is the place where wide researches on seabuckthorn have been carried out for the first time. Nowadays the achievements of the Lisavenko Research Institute of Horticulture for Siberia are known far beyond of its territory. But not only scientific and research activity are there at Altai. This is the leading region in Russia on producing and processing of seabuckthorn. The main SBT plantations and processing enterprises are concentrated there.

We convinced that now is exact time for wide cooperation, mutual support and reciprocal involvement of business and scientific community. That is why we proclaim the next conference as “Seabuckthorn – on the way between Science and Industry interaction”.

We hope to meet the delegates from all over the world. We believe that following the Chinese colleagues – the world leaders in seabuckthorn cultivation, the Mongolian friends where SBT industry is rapidly developing will join the Conference. The representatives of the European and Scandinavian countries where substantial contribution to the biochemistry and processing of seabuckthorn have been done, the Indian experts studying the pharmacological value of culture, as well as our friends from Canada and the USA will attend the conference also.

We are looking forward to meet pioneers in seabuckthorn researches from Japan, Korea, South America and Middle East countries.

This meeting should become a revival of scale works on sea-buckthorn which were carried out in the former Soviet Union in 70-80-s. We are waiting for colleagues from near abroad - the Central Asia and the Baltic countries.

On behalf of Organizing Committee of the 4-th International Seabuckthorn Association Conference I would like to invite you to attend the Conference. We believe that it will be perfect opportunity for experience exchange as well as new friends and colleagues meeting.
