The
Association participated in a graduate course in "Basics
and Concepts of Chronobiology and their Application to Human
Health and Disease" which was sponsored by the
Mediterranean Society of Chronobiology (MSC) and took place in
Antalya, Turkey. The course was attended by
students from Turkey, Israel, Croatia, Poland, Italy, Spain and
Australia. The course was a good success as indicated by
feedback from the side of the participants. It is intended that
the course will be repeated (offered) on a yearly basis (funding
permitting) either in Antalya, Turkey, or at other sites around
the Mediterranean Basin. The course program is presented in
News in Chronobiology.
People interested in participating in future courses can find

University, Ankara, Turkey. |
