Organizers:
The Siena Meeting will reach its
8th edition in 2008, as it was held in Siena biannually since 1994 when,
at the first one, the idea of the Proteome was first introduced to a large
audience. Thanks to its marvellous atmosphere that offers a perfect balance
of science and history, the Siena Meeting is still recognized as one of
the most important proteomics conference and is extremely well attended
by scientists from all over the World.
This edition will be held, as usual from 1994, in the first week of September
2008. Due to the presence of another international proteomics conference
in Europe in the middle of August -HUPO 2008-, we have decided to reduce
the size of our meeting to a maximum of 400 participants.
This will give us the possibility to maintain the major goal of the meeting
that is the possibility to organize a conference at which science
would take the centre stage and the discussions would be conducted in
a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We look foward to welcome you
in this wonderful venue, inside the ancient walls of the medieval town
of Siena.
The 400 participants will be selected based on the order of registration and payment of the fee.
We encourage Siena meeting participants to also attend HUPO meeting in Amsterdam
