    International Society of Biomechanics
    WORKING GROUP ON FUNCTIONAL FOOTWEAR

    SYMPOSIUM on FOOTWEAR BIOMECHANICS
    ----------------------------------

    June 28-30, 1995
    Deutsche Sporthochschule, Cologne, Germany

    The second Symposium of the International Society of Biomechanics
    Working Group on Functional Footwear will be held at the Deutsche
    Sporthochschule, Cologne, Germany, from June 28-30, 1995. Only a
    brief outline of the meeting plan is included here. More detailed
    information is available on request.

    ************************************************** ****************
    * THE ADIDAS PRIZE FOR FOOTWEAR RESEARCH *
    ************************************************** ****************

    A cash prize of US $1000 and a certificate will be awarded to the
    authors of the original paper which, in the view of the organising
    committee, makes the most significant contribution to footwear
    biomechanics research.
    ************************************************** ****************


    The primary aim of the ISB Working Group is to provide a forum for
    those interested in biomechanical aspects of clinical, athletic and
    other kinds of functional footwear. The Symposium will build on the
    successful format of the first Symposium, with extended seminar
    presentations by invited speakers and opportunities for extended
    discussion of important issues in footwear biomechanics. Approx-
    imately half of the Symposium will be devoted to original papers.

    The Symposium is intended to fit conveniently into the schedules
    of those attending the ISB Congress in Jyvaskyla, Finland (July
    2nd - 6th) Flight are available from Cologne, Duesseldorf or
    Hamburg to Helsinki.
