  • World Biomechanics Symposium

    Dear BIOMCH-L'ers

    The organizers of the Second World Congress of Biomechanics, which was held
    in Amsterdam in 1994, as joined in foundation "Stichting World Biomechanics",
    have organized a one-day symposium. This symposium is the first of aa
    series of annual symposia, which will each year cover a different area of
    biomechanics and will consist of Dutch contributions except for the keynote
    speaker. The symposium is open to attendants from outside the Netherlands.
    If you are going to attend, please register by mail, fax or Email. The
    address information and the registration information can be found at the end
    of the program.

    I am looking forward to see some of the 1994 participants of the Second World
    Congress back in Amsterdam

    Sincerely,
    Leendert Blankevoort
