    Melbourne '95
    -------------

    The Australian Society for Biomaterials extends a warm welcome to its 1995
    Annual Scientific meeting. As in previous years, our meeting will be in
    two parts - a 2 day Scientific Conference with invited and contributed
    papers on all areas of biomaterials and a preceding 2 day Symposium on a
    special theme. This year the Symposium is co-hosted with the Society for
    Biomaterials (US) and endorsed by the Canadian, Chinese, European, Korean
    and Japanese societies. This is the second of a series of three Symposia on
    implant tracking and data systems. The first was held in Hyannis,
    Massachusetts in 1994 and the final Symposium will be held in Washington
    DC, USA in 1996.


    ************************************************** ****************
    Symposium: Towards An International Implant Tracking & Data System
    29-30 January 1995
    ******************

    This Symposium will build upon the outcomes of the 1994 Hyannis, USA
    Conference "Management Requirements for a National Implant Data System".
    The Symposium will augment the process begun at Hyannis and
    will further develop the issues raised at that meeting, with specific
    emphasis on international issues.

    *************************
    5TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
    January - 1 February 1995
    *************************

    The Annual Conference will emphasise informality and interaction between
    delegates to make the most of the opportunity to exchange and discuss
    research findings and new technologies. Therefore, the format will again
    emphasise poster discussions and ample time will be allotted to poster
    sessions for full discussion of work presented. All accepted papers will
    be presented as Posters. From these a selection of speakers will be
    invited to make additional oral presentations. If there are several
    posters originating from a single group, then one person may be invited to
    present the work of the group. This will provide the opportunity for a
    more rounded presentation of the different research activities than is
    possible in short talks, while giving opportunity for detailed discussion
    of specific aspects in the poster sessions. The decision on oral
    presentation rests entirely with the Scientific Committee.


    Venue and Accommodation
    -----------------------

    The venue for both Conference and Symposium will be the Radisson President
    Hotel which is situated 3km south from the centre of Melbourne, overlooking
    Albert Park Lake and offering an international standard of accommodation
    and facilities. The Radisson is Melbourne's most modern and flexible
    conference centre.
