IUPS 2009 Kyoto

www.iups.org
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure and honor to extend this invitation to take part in the coming XXXVI th International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS), to be held in the beautiful and historic city of Kyoto, Japan from July 27 to August1, 2009.
Since it has been forty years since the XXII IUPS was held in Tokyo, Japan, we are understandably thrilled and elated to be able to host this prestigious meeting once more in our country. In considering a suitable theme for the congress, we arrived at "Function of Life: Elements and Integration." We believe we are now in the midst of developments leading to a new era in physiological research, fueled by the recent revolutionary progress in biological sciences. We have witnessed sequencing of the human genomeand dramatically rapid progress in computer technology and bioinformatics, as well as the structural biology of various proteins including membrane receptors and channels.
We are clearly on the threshold, and a bold new future awaits us. Yet even as information technology has increased the volume and speed of information flow astronomically, it is still no substitute for face-to-face communication. We will gather in Kyoto to share and pursue knowledge.

SNF - Stiftelsen Nordisk Fysiologi
Stiftelsen Nordisk Fysiologi (SNF) was established by the Scandinavian Physiological Society (SPS) in 1994/95, as a separate foundation aimed at supporting activities that will benefit the physiological sciences in the Nordic countries.
During the last 10 years, SNF has focused on financing the so-called Acta Physiologica Scandinavica International Symposia, now Acta Physiologica International Symposia (AP Symposia). These are arranged in the Nordic countries by strong local groups with the aim of bringing top international and Nordic scientists, within selected fields of physiology, together. Typically, some 20-40 scientists are invited. Read more.

Special Interest Group
SPS promotes the physiological sciences in the Nordic countries by supporting interaction within special interest groups. A special interest group (SIG) is a group of SPS members who interact scientifically through meetings, workshops, seminars and courses as well as short laboratory visits. The general purposse of a SIG is to improve personal contacts between members scientists working in Nordic laboratories.
