SECOND ANNOUCEMENT 2nd INTERNATIONAL WHEAT GENETICS SYMPOSIUM in Lund-Svalof, Sweden. August 19-24, 1963 PROGRAM The 2nd International Wheat Genetics Symposium will be held in August 19-24, 1963. The meetings are planned to be in the Genetics Institute, Solvegatan 23, Lund, Sweden, but the great interest in the Symposium provisionally registered may make it necessary to use a larger lecture hall in Lund. The program is planned around seven special and one miscellaneous session and two excursions. It is now almost settled to all its details and a PRESENT PROGRAM VERSION is enclosed. REGISTRATION A first announcement letter about the Symposium was sent out in the end of last year. All who have reacted positively by sending in the preliminary application form are now reached by this second announcement. lrrespective of your earlier indication of a definite or tentative participation, you are here asked to send the enclosed DEFINITE REGISTRATION FORM to the Secretariat, if you wish to be registered for attendance at the 2nd International Wheat Genetics Symposium. You are asked to fill the form as completely as possible, and the form has to be sent in before April 1, 1963. If the form is received after this date, accommodation and participation in the social events cannot be guaranteed. Full membership is open to all interested persons for a registration fee of 50 Swedish crowns. Each full member is entitled to participate in all scientific and social gatherings and to receive one copy of the Proceedings. Associate membership is open only to wives, husbands and older children (over 15 years of age). Each associate member has to pay a registration fee of 20 Sw. crowns and is entitled to participate in the social events and in a special Associate Members' Program. The extremely low number of children and husbands not interested to attend the scientific sessions revealed by the preliminary inventory implies that this special program will mainly be arranged for accompanying wives. ACCOMMODATION The preliminary inventory indicates that three different accommodation facilities in Lund will suffice. Grand Hotel is an ordinary, first class hotel with single and double rooms with or without bath. Student House implies accommodation in modern student dormitories (built in 1961)with high comfort, individual rest rooms and floor bathroom, kitchen and social room. Uarda Summer Hotel is also a student dormitory but more regularly arranged as summer hotel. Restroom and washroom at each floor and outside a very attractive garden. When you book room on the Definite Registration Form please give the exact length of your stay. Only the time indicated will be guaranteed. ARRIVAL It is highly appreciated, if you can give your exact time and station of arrival (Bulltofta Airport-- Lund Railway Station) already now on the Definite Registration Form or in due time before the Symposium. Plans are to meet you, if possible, and bring you to the Registration Desk at the Genetics Institute and to your room. CLOTHING AND WEATHER No formal dress will be required on any occasion during the congress. The weather in South Sweden is at the time of the Symposium likely to be mild with an average day temperature of 17 degrees C. You will certainly need a raincoat. SECRETARIAT The Symposium Secretariat will be Swedish Seed Association, Svalof, Sweden until August 17, 1963. In August 18-24, the Symposium Bureau will be installed in the Genetics Institute, Solvegatan 23, Lund, Sweden. The secretariat will supply additional Registration Forms on request. |
