Dear Colleagues
We would like to invite you to the International Symposium that we are
organising on "The Physiology, Mechanics and Control of Human Movement
Across the Life Span" on Tuesday 29th June 2010 to be held at Manchester
Metropolitan University (MMU): http://www.irm.mmu.ac.uk/symposium/index.php
This Symposium is organised by the Institute for Biomedical Research into
Human Movement & Health (IRM) of MMU and it is timed to immediately precede
The Physiological Society Meeting being held in Manchester from the 30th
June to 2nd July 2010 (http://www.physiology2010.org/symp/1wed2.html) so
that you will be able to combine attendance at both meetings if interested.
There is no charge for attendance at the IRM symposium but for security,
seating and catering reasons we would ask you to register in advance. To do
this, please complete the simple form at the Registration page:
http://www.irm.mmu.ac.uk/symposium/register2.php
We do hope that you will be able to come to Manchester this summer and we
look forward to greeting you at that time.
Further information can be found in our website
(http://www.irm.mmu.ac.uk/symposium/about_symposium.php) but a brief outline
of the programme is included here:
