IUBS 6th ICCPB Australia-2003-Call for Symposia

The Sixth International Congress of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry
will be held in Australia in early February 2003.
  The site we have chosen is The Mount Buller Campus of La Trobe University. The area is a ski resort in Winter and in summer provides bush walking,chair lifts, mountain cycling and many other sporting activities. It is an easy bus ride from Melbourne, but can also be reached from Sydney or Canberra. The Campus is located in the  Victorian high country in an area of mountain ranges, snowgums and rivers. It is three hours from Melbourne and free from the hassles of down-town campuses. A range of accommodation from backpacker-style rooms to 4 star suites is available. Dining facilities also cover this range.

Your proposal should be discussed with and submitted to the International Representative of your IUBS member society.
In your IUBS symposia proposal, please include the following:
1. Title
2. List of speakers, and their approximate topics (about 5 in the final version).
3. Rationale for the focus and timeliness of the symposia
4. Contact information for symposia organizers
