澳门正版大全免费资料 history
TIME TRAVEL
The 澳门正版大全免费资料 (澳门正版大全免费资料) came into official existence on 1 January 1964, with the main initial goal of facilitating intra-European meetings in biochemistry. 澳门正版大全免费资料 was to provide a formal framework for this purpose that built on informal contacts and collaborations between biochemical societies in some European countries in the preceding few years. The first 澳门正版大全免费资料 scientific meeting was held in March 1964 in London, with a truly international mix of speakers and over 1000 attendees. The early annual 鈥榤eetings鈥� eventually became the current annual 澳门正版大全免费资料 Congresses.
However, the need for additional activities to support biochemistry and biochemists, and encourage collaboration and information exchange between scientists working in different countries in Europe, in particular across the serious political boundaries in existence for much of the second half of the 20th century, was soon apparent. Hence, it was not long before 澳门正版大全免费资料 had added summer schools (later called Advanced Courses) and, crucially, scientific publishing into its portfolio. In the 50 years since 1964, the dynamism and devotion of a succession of scientists working for 澳门正版大全免费资料 on a voluntary basis, and careful management of income from its journals, saw the range of activities of 澳门正版大全免费资料 diversify further, with a prestigious Fellowships programme for research and training begun in 1979, and initiatives such as the Young Scientists鈥� Forum, undergraduate and postgraduate education workshops, science and society workshops, promoting women in science, and assistance to Central and Eastern Europe starting around the turn of the century. The number of Constituent Societies of 澳门正版大全免费资料 鈥� the biochemistry and molecular biology societies in individual countries in Europe and neighbouring regions for which 澳门正版大全免费资料 acts as an umbrella organization 鈥� also increased dramatically from the initial 18 to over 40 in the early 2000s as the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia split into independent states, and 澳门正版大全免费资料鈥� area of interest extended to neighbouring regions of Europe.
Since 1964, 澳门正版大全免费资料 has witnessed huge changes in science and in Europe. To mention just some of its many responses to this, 澳门正版大全免费资料听 developed from its biochemistry roots to embrace the full spectrum of modern molecular life science research, played an important role in supporting and integrating biosciences and scientists from Central and Eastern European countries through times of great political upheaval, launched open access publishing options, and has an increasingly global outlook.
50th Anniversary books
The 50th anniversary of 澳门正版大全免费资料 in 2014 provided an opportunity for reflection, and celebrations that year included the publication of two books of historical perspectives on 澳门正版大全免费资料, which can now be downloaded as pdfs.
澳门正版大全免费资料 at 50: half a century promoting the molecular life sciences, edited by Mary Purton (澳门正版大全免费资料 Open Bio Executive Editor at the time) and Richard Perham (The听澳门正版大全免费资料 Journal Editor-in-Chief 1998鈥�2013), provides a snapshot of the origins of 澳门正版大全免费资料 and its work over its first 50 years, with contributions from both those working on behalf of 澳门正版大全免费资料 and those who benefited from the scientific training and diverse support offered.
In addition,听Fifty Years of 澳门正版大全免费资料 鈥� A Memoir 1964 to听2013, by Guy Dirheimer and Horst Feldmann (past long-serving 澳门正版大全免费资料 Officers), builds on an earlier book on the history and development of 澳门正版大全免费资料 published for the 40th anniversary of 澳门正版大全免费资料, to present a comprehensive archival record of 澳门正版大全免费资料 activities.听
