Symposium in Norrköping,
Sweden
November, 12th and 13th, 2005
The Swedish "Boa-group", together with "Alba" run these
symposiums since 14 years now, allways at the 2nd weekend of November.
For this, they are inviting 2 or 3 foreign speakers, to do about 3 lectures,
40 to 50 min each at these weekends.
In the years before - among others - Richard Ross, David
Bloody, Eric Pianka, Peter Tolson (all from USA), Indraneil Das, Ulrich Joger,
Marc Jaeger, Andreas Gumprecht, Gernot Vogel, Tony Phelps, Ludwig Trutnau, Mark
O´Shea and Peter Stafford hold their
lectures.
This year David Blair from USA, David Modry from Czech republik and I had
been invited.
From left to the right: Anders Wahlström, Rikard Malmström, Mario

Now, after beeing back, I´m glad to have been there.
About 100 people shared the symposium and this auditorium has been very attentive
and well informed (what means, you have to be very well prepared for your speakings).
The leaders of the symposium, Anders Wahlström and Bengt Ydebäck
have done their job very well and also have been very nice hosts.
Thanks to them from here again !!
