Presentation of papers: All special lectures and invited papers will
be presented orally or as posters. Each participant may present only
one paper except when further papers are in collaboration with other

2. Seventeenth International Congress of Genetics
(August 15-21, 1993 in Birmingham, United Kingdom)
The next International congress of Genetics, a major event in the
genetics calendar, is sub-titled "Genetics and the Understanding of
Life". It will be concerned with the central role of genetics in
illuminating contemporary biology, as well as with the contributions
that genetics can make to industry, medicine, agriculture and social
sciences. A feature of the Congress will be a two-standed programme:
a "Professional" programme covering as many as possible of the
exciting new developments in genetics, particularly in the
exploitation of molecular techniques, which have taken place since
the last congress in Toronto in 1988; and a "Public awareness"
programme in which important scientific, ethical and social issues
will be discussed with members of the non- scientific community. The
programme will attract participants from developing and developed
countries alike, from East and West, and from South and North.
Contact the followings for further information and registration
particulars which will be sent to you in November 1992.
