The Leeuwenhorst Congress Centre in Noordwijkerhout, between Amster- dam and Leiden, 4 kilometers from the Northsea coast, will accommodate the 3rd Congress of the E.S.C.P.B. All rooms for lectures and poster pre- sentations, all hotel and restaurant facilities are provided by the Leeuwen- horst Congress Centre.

C O N T R I B U T I O N S

The prospective contributions consist of invited lectures, posters, round- tables, lectures and discussions on selected applied aspects. Each day no more than two subjects will receive preferent attention.

Posters will be considered for acceptation if related to the subjects of the conference. Free-subject posters will be considered for acceptation. The organizers will then apply the following criteria: e.g. interest for compara- tive physiology; novelty; possibilities to relate the results with applica- tions; etc. etc.

Abstracts of one or two pages per poster can be published in an abstract volume (Pergamon Press).

Poster sessions and round-tables are a.o. designed to provide some opportunity for short oral presentation.

Deadline for poster-application and the abstracts: April 1, 1981.

FINANCIAL AID FOR YOUNG SCIENTISTS

To a limited number of young, fully participating, scientists a grant may be provided. Fully participating is, at minimum, a poster presentation. Applications, through the head of the research department must reach the congress' secretariat prior to April 1, 1981. Valid applications include the completed registration form, the transfer of the conference fee plus ac- commodation fee to bank account 34.37.48.800 of RABO-Bank, Naarden- Bussum, ultimately April 1, 1981. In the month of May the applicants will be informed about the heigth of the grants.

EXCURSIONS:

The congress commitee will not directly organize excursions. However, excursions to e.g.: Amsterdam, The Hague, Gouda, Leiden, the new pol- ders under construction, Rotterdam and Europoort, Aalsmeer flower mar- ket, the Westland greenhouse flower- and fruit growing district and -farms including visiting market and farm, are possible. The possibility of offering suitable assistance is prepared. Of specific interest we mention the renowned yearly Amsterdam flower parade on Saturday, September 5, 1981.
