ELROPEAIM SOCIETY OF HUIVIAIM GEIMETICS
„The European Society of Human Genetics“, initiated dur-
ing the Illrd International Congress of Human Genetics in
Chicago, 1966, is now established.
The aims of the Society are to promote research in human
genetics including basic genetics and genetic pathology, and
for this purpose to create and maintain personal contacts be-
tween human geneticists in Europe.
The Society gives initiative and support to the arrange-
ment of at least one symposium a year, to cover a limited
topic and to be given usually by a small group of invited
speakers; in addition there may be special study groups. The
first symposium will possibly be in October-—-November, 1967,
as a long weekend arrangement, and will, like the organiza-
tion of the Society in general, be given a very simple form.
Further information about the character of the Society may
be obtained from any of the persons listed below, who consti-
tute the responsible board.
A “Bulletin of the European Society of Human Genetics”
will later keep members informed.
Membership is open and may be attained upon application
and payment of the annual membership fee $ 6 to the:
European Society of Human Genetics, H. C. Andersens Boule-
vard 2, Copenhagen V, Denmark”. Application forms may be
1 obtained upon request from this address or from any board
member.
