Invitation It is with great pleasure that I am now able to invite you to submit an abstract and register for the XVI International Congress of Eye Research (ICER). The meeting will be held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre from 29 August to 3 September 2004. ICER is a biennial event bringing together leading scientists, both basic and clinical, from all around the world to share their latest research. The Congress has a strong international flavour and by virtue of its different venues has played a major role in promoting the communication of research between local, national and international organisations. Over 90 Symposia covering the areas of Cornea and Ocular Surface, Glaucoma, Lens, Physiology, Pharmacology, Retina (both cell biology and visualneurosciences), Immunology & Inflammation and general eye and vision research, will take place at the Congress. Special Interest Symposia will also be held every day and will feature high profile keynote speakers on topics of broad interdisciplinary interest. In addition, and in accordance with our efforts to encourage greater participation of Young Investigators at all levels of the meeting, we will have Young Investigator Symposia on Monday and Tuesday as well as Quick Fire Poster sessions on Tuesday and Thursday. Poster sessions will also be organised thematically to provide a forum for the continued and more expansive coverage of topics addressed in the Symposia. Working together with the Local Organising Committee, many of you will already have been involved in putting together the Symposia that will play a major role in shaping the scientific content of the meeting. My thanks to all those local and international members of the eye and vision research community who played a part in the process. However, now is the opportunity for everyone to become part of the Congress. I would encourage you to submit an abstract and register now to ensure your involvement in what promises to be an exciting and stimulating meeting. Like other ICER meetings, the international venue means there are a whole host of other activities to sample and enjoy. Around Sydney, and further afield, there are lots of opportunities to get a flavour of the vibrant and diverse cultural scene in Australia. Together with our conference organiser, Tour Hosts, we would be delighted to help you plan your itinerary. Our advice is to start planning now so that you (and hopefully your family) can make the most of your trip to Australia. So start planning now, and we will look forward to seeing you in what is, in our only slightly biased view, the most beautiful city in the world.
