General Information
edi·ermes
We have chosen a conference venue in the heart of the University district of Bologna. This will offer you
an easy way to approach the historical part of Bologna, and a wonderful opportunity to visit University
buildings, libraries and museums, walk through ancient arcades, see magnificent monuments and eat
Italian traditional food in a vibrant atmosphere. Founded in 1088, the Alma Mater Studiorum University of
Bologna is the most ancient University of the Western world. Since 1989 it has a multi-campus structure
– the only one in the Italian University system - with campuses in Bologna, Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna and
Rimini. Each campus has its own distinct scientific and educational identity, ensuring the opportunity to
learn and promote stable research activities throughout the region. Bologna campus is the oldest and
largest one; it is mainly located in the city centre and counts about 60,000 students.
We wish to thank the Board of SIF for the immense support, and the Board of FEPS for accepting our
proposal to host the Congress in Bologna and providing continuous extended assistance. We thank
all the lecturers, organizers of Symposia and contributors to the sessions for enlightening this event,
and all the reviewers and local collaborators for their fundamental help. Finally, we address our sincere
gratitude to the financial supporters of the Congress.
I therefore strongly encourage you to enjoy the science, sights and culinary delights Bologna has to
offer during the four days to come.
Markus Hecker
President of FEPS
PS. This year’s Congress is the last one I will attend as President of FEPS. It has been a great pleasure
and privilege to serve the European community of physiologists in this function, and I look forward to
two more years, then as Past-President, in the FEPS Executive Board headed by my esteemed colleague
Susan Wray as new President of FEPS.
