Dear friends,
This is to remind you, on behalf of the EBSA Executive Committee, the Congress Organising Committee and the Italian Society for Pure and Applied Biophysics (SIBPA), to register for the VIIth European Biophysics Congress which will be held from 11th to 15th July 2009 in Genoa, Italy. Details of the Congress can be found on the Congress web site (http://www.ebsa2009.org) including the scientific programme, list of plenary speakers and registration details.
I am pleased to tell you that the deadline for abstract submission has been extended to 14th April 2009.

Forty EBSA bursaries have now been awarded to young scientists from less favoured European countries. We are delighted to have received an enthusiastic response, and pleased that EBSA is able to contribute to European Biophysics in this positive way. As well, the Biophysical Society provided support for young scientists participation, and institutional and commercial sponsor allow to provide a number of benefits to all participants.
Congress costs have been kept to a minimum, and the registration includes the Congress dinner and all lunches for the duration of the congress. As 2009 is the 25th anniversary year of EBSA, the congress dinner will be an opportunity for special celebrations. We also arranged for excellent room prices at the Genova Hostel (see on the webpage) and also arranged free entry to museums on 16th July. Genoa is easily accessible by plane, train, coach and car. Inexpensive student accommodation is available as well as a full range of hotels. Genoa is a beautiful city on the Ligurian coast, an important port since before the Etruscans, with magnificent Renaissance architecture. The mountains, fishing harbours of Cinque Terre and beach resorts of the Italian Riviera will no doubt inspire you to extend your visit in July.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Genoa.
Yours sincerely
Alberto Diaspro EBSA2009, Chairman
