An Important Message from the Secretary of the European Peptide Society (EPS) to all Members of the EPS
Re-registration as member of the EPS
Offer to purchase a print copy of the proceedings of the 30th EPS Symposium held in Helsinki in 2008
Election of a new representative in the EPS Council for your country
Dear Colleague,
1. Re-registration as member of the EPS
In our files, you are listed as a member of the European Peptide Society (EPS). You may be well known to the secretary of the EPS, having been a valued member for many years. Or you may have joined the society some time ago and then lost interest in the EPS. Because the EPS has offered membership free of charge, existing members may have had no occasion to communicate to the secretary that either their coordinates (postal address, e.mail address etc.) may have changed or that they wished to discontinue their membership.
This has led to an unsatisfactory state of the membership files of the EPS.
The executive committee has therefore decided to ask all members (also those that are well known to the secretary) to go through a process of re-registration using the website of the EPS. Thus, with this letter I would like to ask you to do this within the next four weeks (by 31 January 2010) so that the organizers of the 31st EPS Symposium, to be held in Copenhagen from 5-9 September 2010, can be provided with an up-to-date database. Details of the 31st EPS Symposium can be found here: http://www.31eps.dk/
To re-register to continue your EPS membership (or to register as a new member), please fill out this form:
Joining / re-registering for EPS membership is a separate process to registration of the EPS website. You should also register and login to this website to access all the premium features and content:
If you are already registered on www.eurpepsoc.com, you do not need to register for the website again. However, you should still re-register using the "Join the EPS" link to continue your EPS membership.
If you wish to discontinue your EPS membership, please send an email to the Secretary.
2. Offer to purchase a printcopy of the proceedings of the 30th EPS Symposium held in Helsinki in 2008
It has been the tradition for decades that after every EPS Symposium a proceedings book containing all contributions of the meeting was produced by the organizers of the symposium. Owing to financial problems, the organizers of the 30th EPS Symposium held in Helsinki.in 2008 were not in the position to offer a printed version of the proceedings to the participants. Instead, they produced an electronic version as pdf file (23 MB) that can be obtained from the secretary (provided that your server accepts this file size).
The executive committee regrets this situation and sends apologies, on behalf of the organizers, to all participants. At the same time, the executive committee has the pleasure to communicate to you that our well-known colleague Dr. Michal Lebl was kind enough to offer a print version of the book for the modest price of $ 25.03 (paperback version). If you wish to purchase a copy or several copies, you can do so via this link.
3. Election of a new representative in the EPS Council for your country
Enclosed you will find the list with the current members of the EPS Council. The term of several members will end at the end of 2010. In March 2010, the secretary of the EPS will organize elections in these countries. If you are an EPS member living in one of these countries, your are entitled to propose one or more candidate/s for the EPS council; please do so by 31 January 2009.
As secretary of the EPS, I hope that you will continue your membership by completing the form on the website as explained above and that we will have the opportunity to meet each other again at the next EPS symposium in Copenhagen.
I wish you and your family all the best for the New Year.
Warmest regards
Alex N. Eberle
