Below you will find a list of past and upcoming events and news items, which are arranged under a monthly basis. Although we will do our best to make this list as up-to-date as possible, we very much depend on information we receive from people working in this field, who organise symposiums, conferences and other meetings, to supply us with information about these meetings and other new items. You can send your latest news items to Ivo Mulder (ivo.mulder@fsd.nl).
