To mark the centenary of the birth of Herbert Fröhlich (9th December, 1905), there will be a Symposium at the International Institute of Biophysics, Station Hombroich, Kapellener Strasse, D-41472 Neuss, Germany

on Saturday & Sunday 20/21 August 2005

The Symposium will focus on Fröhlich's contributions in the field of biology, with particular emphasis how his Coherent Excitations further our understanding of the living state.
