1) We have kept the costs as low as possible, and we are attempting to
raise funds to provide travelling fellowships. Support for young
investigators from Eastern Europe was specifically mentioned in an NIH
grant that we have submitted requesting support for this meeting.
2) We will be making extensive use of the World Wide Web before,
during, and after the meeting. In addition to making all abstracts available,
we will be able to show actual data, and allow discussion of results via the
web. We hope that in this way people who are unable to attend will still
be able to participate in the meeting. Of course, this emphasises the point
that Gunter makes about the need to improve electronic communications
to Eastern Europe.
