IUPS 2017:'Rhythms of Life'

摘要

Approximately 9 years ago, the Brazilian Society of Physiology (SBFis) had submitted the bid to the Executive Council of the International Union of the Physiological Sciences (IUPS) to host the IUPS World Congress in 2017. In 2009, at the 36th World Congress of the IUPS held in Kyoto, Japan, Brazil was elected to host the 38th World Congress of the IUPS in Rio de Janeiro in 2017. To prepare to host the IUPS Congress, the SBFis and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) developed a long-term project, including the organization of several scientific activities, such as annual congresses of physiology in 2012, 2013, and 2015, and the successful 1st PanAmerican (PanAm) Congress of Physiological Sciences in Iguassu Falls in 2014.
