A Word from the President

I hope the New Year started off positively for you and your family. 2008 will be a very busy year for the WFSBP. We are putting all our efforts into the highlight of this WFSBP term, the WFSBP 2009 Paris Congress. Next month, in February the submission for symposia proposals will be opened. We look forward to receiving many stimulating research results compiled as symposia from our WFSBP members.

This year the WFSBP will hold several WFSBP endorsed meeting. Today I would like to draw your attention especially to the 2nd WFSBP Asia-Pacific Regional Congress to take place in Toyama, Japan from 10-13 September 2008. This event promises to be an outstanding, scientifically exciting meeting. The poster of this event is now available as download via the WFSBP website. Please click here to view the poster. You may turn to the congress’ secretariat if you require further information. Contact details are found on the official website http://wfsbp-08.umin.jp/  

With all my king greetings,
Sincerely yours,
