Electronic Conferences
IUBS has recently agreed to strengthen the day to day scientific
discussion among its members and the scientific community. In order
to achieve this ambitious goal, we will launch electronic conferences
and a discussion forum on the
IUBS website.
Electronic conferences will discuss topics from our scientific
programmes and stimulate a broader participation than traditional
meetings usually allow. In keeping with previous meetings, e-conferences
will be organised and moderated by a chairperson. We would appreciate
suggestions for e-conferences from scientific and ordinary members
of IUBS, as well as from scientists linked to the IUBS programmes.
Because IUBS' mission is to reach scientists from all over the
world, including areas off the information highways, we will base
our work on low-end electronic tools such as electronic conferences
by e-mail instead of video-conferences.
It is our hope that these steps towards the present day communication
style in science will stimulate interaction among our members and
the scientific community in biology. However, only Your contribution
will ensure that IUBS is the platform of Biological Sciences.
