**** Special Symposia ****
Biochemistry of Ginseng
Ginseng has been used in oriental medicine for a long time.
Some of the FAOB member countries are the major producers of ginseng.
There will be a special symposium on the biochemistry of ginseng by
more than 10 prominent ginseng researchers. Details of this symposium
will be given in the program booklet at the time of Congress.
Biochemical Education
There will be a special symposium on biochemical education dealing
with "Present status and future prospects of biochemical education
in the FAOB member countries. " Representatives from FAOB member
countries will participate in the round-table discussion.
Exhibition : BIOEXPO '89 SEOUL
An exhibition, BIOEXPO '89 SEOUL, will be organized during the
Congress from August 13 to 18, 1989 at the Seoul Hilton International
Hotel. The exhibition will give an excellent opportunity for both
exhibitors and Congress participants.
Application period : From October 1, 1988
To February 28, 1989
