From: Werner Callebaut <[log in to unmask]> 2003 MEETING VIENNA, AUSTRIA, JULY 16-20, 2003 As was officially announced at Quinnipiac, the next meeting of our Society will be held in Vienna, Austria, in mid-July 2003, at the invitation of the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (KLI) and the University of Vienna. Our local hosts are Werner Callebaut, who is the scientific manager of the KLI, and Gerd Mueller, who chairs the KLI Board and is a professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Vienna. The KLI welcomes you to visit its homepage at <http://www.kli.ac.at/>. Vienna, the city of classical music and many important modern intellectual and cultural developments, needs little recommendation. Being clean, green, and safe, and ranking very high in most other dimensions of quality of life as well,it is a preferred location for conference venues. Located in the very heart of Europe, Vienna can be reached easily by aircraft, train, or car. The Viennese public transport network ranks among the best in the world. In addition to enjoying the city's own cultural riches, conference participants may want to visit other historical cities such as Prague (Czech Republic), Budapest (Hungary), or Cracow (Poland), which can all be reached from Vienna within a few hours; or they may prefer a hiking tour in the nearby Alps. The meetings will take place at the Vienna University Campus. The campus is located centrally, in the recently renovated historic city hospital complex. The campus is within walking distance from many hotels and "Studentenheime" (dorms) and offers a nice array of restaurants and pubs. The Local Arrangements Committee is chaired by Dolores Schuetz, who can be contacted at the KLI: <[log in to unmask]>; snail mail: KLI, Adolf-Lorenz-Gasse 2, 3422 Altenberg, Austria; tel.: ++43-2242-32390; fax: ++43-2242-32390-4.
