✦ Synopsis

IUB has 51 members. We hold a congress each three years. No congress so far has been held twice in the same country. Your country was the host in 1978, and therefore on past precedent, could expect again to be the host at sometime in the 22nd century.' This of course does not deter the aggressive tourist board and is reflected in the statistics for invitations to the IUB for its future congresses. For the 1988 Congress there were five invitations, seven for 1991, and for 1994 an astonishing 12, from Asia, Europe and the Americas. The International Union of Physiological Sciences will celebrate a century of congresses when it holds its 31st in Helsinki in 1989. The open congresses are surely here to stay, at least into the 21st century, and any move to abandon them would, in the context of scientific meetings as presently organized, be a disservice to science and would remove from view one of the most outward and visible signs of a Union's existence.
